Really excited about the new release, but I wanted to see if this is at all possible.

I want to start in 1968, as this was really my first year of replay with strat-o-matic and it will be interesting to see how the r/l game will play with the 1968 database

But as I'm a noob and don't really know how it works exactly, I can start a historical league in 1968, and play through the ML season, no problem.

But my question is this:

I want minor leagues. At least 3-4 levels. Do most suggest that I just populate with ghost players the first year and then the draft in 1968 will start populating enough players to where I'll have a full system with real players in, say, 10 years? Not sure what most do here.

Because in general, it feels like the database would add a player who had 500 ABs his first year in the majors and he'd go right to the lowest minor level. I don't necessarily want that.

Is there a way to have it so that new players get placed in the minors, say 3 years before their actual debut? Would it screw with certain numbers?

Bottom line I want a historical league with realistic minor systems.

Thanks for any help!
