It would be fun to me to let the game sim for a certain number of seasons, then pick the worst team, take on the management duties, and then start playing.

It seems as though that would be very entertaining.
This is the best way to start off a fictional league. You may want to consider as much as 10-15 seasons.

I'll offer this tip since it happened to me. Check that major and minor league rosters are full before simming. Then maybe check every other year. In the early years of my league, the White Sox had a short roster and a couple of pitchers had records like 14W 56L and the like.

Good luck.
