Settings are similar to the link that was posted in this thread. Minor leagues from a spreadsheet I found in this forum on minor league history from 1901-present. I set the levels according to this as well. Right now I have approx 10 minor leagues running. Every year some fold/change, and I will try to keep up with this. I am just hitting the first "draft", which will generate lots of free agents, which should help with some problems I had in 1901 with few free agents. Some teams had injuries that caused them to go below the minimum roster limit, so I had to clear some of the injuries to continue. Hopefully I won't have to do this in 1902.
As for media contract, I took the major league money ($60,000 in 1901), and divided in half as I went down. So a AAA level minor league team got $30,000, AA $15,000, and so on. This caused the lowest level teams to only get like $3,500, so they couldn't get silly with money, which is what seemed to be happening before I did this.
I am gonna GM now, so things will go slower. I simmed out the 1901 season. Was really cool to see some of the higher minor league teams get aging stars to boost attendence and try to win.
