Does Le Grande Orange or someone else who really knows the history have anything to suggest along these lines?

I heartily agree with the basic concept, and have a few general ideas, but it's hard to make more specific suggestions since they rely on certain other areas of the game being modified (e.g. the major-minor relationship, classification levels, etc.).
Without knowing which of these other areas are open to being altered to work with the enhanced minor leagues idea, it's hard to know which specific concepts should be put forth.
But certainly the idea of making the major league-minor league relationship in the game more reflective of how that relationship has evolved and changed in real life is a priority to me. It's an area that may be more useful being discussed in general terms first in a thread somewhere...
...that said, maybe I'll try to scrape together more specific proposals anyway.
