1920s-1960s fictional/historical universe

Steve, I can't fit this into your format yet, because I need help & advice from people on the forum who are more imaginative and knowledgeable about BB history than I.

What I want to suggest is the implementation of league structures that more closely resembles the baseball universe of the the 1920s through 1960s, with more levels of minor leagues, independent minor leagues, purchase of contracts from those leagues, etc. It would require changing the free agent system to some extent, I think, but the real advantage would be to offer much more interesting scope for sending your scouts to look for raw talent in those bush leagues.

Does Le Grande Orange or someone else who really knows the history have anything to suggest along these lines?

Edit: I'm sorry, I see this may be misplaced in this thread. Go ahead and move or delete, at your will.
