Three things come to mind:
1) OOTP doesn't as yet recreate the evolution of the major-minor relationship. The way minor leagues worked with the majors in 1908 was a lot different from how they work together in 2008.
2) The real minor leagues have had a very large variation in terms of the number of leagues and teams compared to the majors. Recreating that accurately would be a considerable challenge.
3) SABR is working on an online minor league database which will eventually include detailed player and league stats for all the minor leagues. There's an alpha version of the site up currently, and as that project continues forward more and more data will be added. I'd expect that in a year what SABR will have available will be quite impressive.
