The key I've found is to have the numbers be extremely different in the two leagues. Even then, this doesn't work perfectly in the game and I think it needs to be improved. I still get guys who sign for ridiculously less than their market value in the lesser league. I actually had an MVP of my big major league sign a paltry contract with a lesser league the following year, which made no sense. This feature of the game (i.e. the ability to run two separate leagues with different levels of play) is not quite right yet IMO, but it works okay if you keep an eye on things.

Oh, and it's a good idea not to allow trades between the leagues. I often end up with players being traded to the lesser league whose salaries eat up the whole budget of teams there, handcuffing them.
