Your best bet is to back up your saved game regularly. If the in-game process takes too long, just make a copy of the .dat files in your .lg saved game folder, then overwrite your .dat files with the backup ones if your saved game ever becomes damaged.
When you start a new league, take a close look at your settings to see exactly what you need. Watch L/R splits, post season data, and fielding data in addition to the box scores, game logs, and stat detail. Especially if you are running a long-term sim, it all really starts adding up.
I'm sorry that I couldn't be of more help with this one. Is there anything else that I can assist you with?

No, thanks -- and I do appreciate the help and attention you've given these particular matters. The .dat files advice above sounds really helpful, and when I run the sim again, I'll cut way back on files to be generated. What I think really hurt here is that while I did back up all the files, I only did it about every 10 years... and I was still a few years away from the next backup.
