I have looked through the whole thread so I hope this hasn't been suggested already.

Suggestion:

Adv. A leagues and A leagues. Adv. rookie and rookie leagues.

Reason:

Each major league team has a slow A and A team. Adv. A is for those better players at the A level who may not be ready for AA. Slow A is for less advanced players. In real life California, Carolina, and Florida state leagues are all leagues where teams send better prospects. New A players are mostly put in the South Atlantic and Midwest leagues. The AI makes no distinction being that A ball is just A ball.

In the rookies the pioneer league is just like a short A league. The Appalachian is and isn't. However, both are classified as advanced Rookie leagues. 22 teams have a rookie league and a SA team. The other 8 have a rookie league and a SA team. The Pioneer league I believe is all organizations with no SA team. The Appalachian is more tricky in that some teams have SA teams and some do not. So classifying it as short A doesn't really work.

Anyway being able to classify rookie and short a leagues are advanced or regular would add a little more realism and perhaps help player development.
