True, and if you read my post above about starting small and working your way up to getting full minors. putting real minors into this game, or for that matter any game will be a lot of work, and research, But I would also wonder about what type of payoff you get from doing it. IIRC how many of those minor leaguers are going to reach the majors in your game. I'm betting few, is it really worth it to spend hours finding out who plays on the State College Spikes (A), the pirates A team, since 80% of these players will never reach the majors. What would be more usefull might be once you get the Lahman database with opening day rosters would be to go back to the last 5 years worth of drafts and put say the first 5 or 10 rounds(or if your really into it the whole draft) of each years draft class into each teams farm system.

Besides since only 1% of us can handle making real rosters, are the other 99% going to keep thier leaguse playing one day at a time doing a 2007 historical replay or 20 min after these rosters are in there game they are going to become more and more ficinal as they play out/sim games.
