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!
You may start in say 1950 and sim till 1968 to add players, then start your play.Maybe set to no trades if you want your teams players intact.
