The way the minors works now, I think will cause you pain.
Minors require a full roster.
You could skip that and just have a reserve roster on your ML level club, but it will not give them real stats or develop them.
You probably go for one or more (up to you) levels of minors. I use 3. You could easily get away with 1 or 2.
A good rule of thumb is 5 rounds of drafting per minor league level.
Players progress slowly, on average. I have had a few guys ready for the show in 400 AB total, but they are few and far between. It takes my guys 3-4 years to get decently ready, and really, they don't fully develop into ML players instantly at the big league level. You can have a .300 25 HR 100 RBI guy you think is the next Edwin Encarnacion, and you promote him, and he plays like Onix Concepcion half the time, and the other half he's clobbering the ball.
