I do three thngs to make this work nicely.
1) I control roster sizes to give players a chance to play. That means 15-20 man major league rosters in the 1800's but as more players start appearing I add more minor league teams so that most clubs eventually have two teams at every level. OOTP bounces a lot of players between the two teams but it works out. Doesn't bother me but other players have reported the bouncing as an OOTP bug.
2) I do not run a draft but you certainly could. I have the players put on the team they are most associated with via disabling the draft. That leaves just the negro and japanese players as free agents who can sign with anybody. Oddly enough you may notice a trend here if you play a few leagues. Oscar Charleston is almost always a Tiger and Josh Gibson is usually on the Washington team. Not always but usually. That is most likely just because the Tigers are usually weak in the OF when Charleston becomes available and Washington has no catchers worth much when Gibson does.
3) Due to the size of the league I back up often.
