hey LGO, Yeah, when I began my replay, I had roster limits down to 20, only two teams at each level of the minors and still had the problems. First I had the teams affiliated with a major club, but spring training the Big Club would bring up extra players which would cause problems, so I turned off spring training, then just left them un affiliated. The main thing was that half the time, the team had the right number of players, but would have too few pitchers, but like 4 2b, 4 cf's etc, so I would go to the game set up screen, change the pitcher rotation to six and "use of relievers" to very often, then use the "fill all teams with fictional players" option to create more pitchers, then reset the rotation to 3 pitchers or 4 and back to rarely for relief use. This would geive me plenty of pitchers. But within a year or two the teams would have half a roster or less again. I think the main problem is the created players were pretty old, many times in thier mid to upper 30's.
Hopefully at some point they will have a patch to let you sim minors with partial teams, but in the meantime it is still fun to mess around with all the different options.

On a separate note, when messing around with the HOF criteria, I thought I had removed VORP, but had made it 0, turning the Hall of Fame into the "Hall of did not completely suck", which was pretty funny to see.
