As far as I can tell, new personnel are generated by the engine when the game rolls over to "pre-season" but I can't be sure. So can anyone say with confidence when this happens?
One month before the First Year Player Draft, the game creates a pool of new players. This may be during your season, depending on the date of the draft.

Also, from the guide: "If you elect not to have an amateur draft, and your league does not have free agency enabled, OOTPB will create a number of young players before each offseason and dump them into the free agent pool, so that the league can still have some influx of talent." I see my game doing that in my independent leagues just after their seasons end. They have no amateur drafts, and the players that I create in my MLB draft are not enough to go around, apparently.
