I'll start with a standard MLB build in 1901, with AAA, AA, A and Rookie league systems. I'll surround that with LOTS of independent leagues, both in the U.S. as well as world-wide. Different leagues will crop up over time, but no league will ever be completely abandoned (it's hard, if not impossible, to get to a dissolved league's history). At some point in the future (say, the 1960s, during MLB's expansion), I'll allow the independent leagues to have trades with the MLB, and then see, in another 50 years, which players from the independent league end up in the Hall of Fame (I make the requirements a bit more realistic, so I don't get flooded with players who have one or two years of experience).

Another thing I want to experiment with is building different rookie pools (based on the Lahman structure) for different leagues. This would (hopefully) allow for the creation of an AAGPBL, and the Negro Leagues.

Of course, the VERY first thing I do is take a standard league and try to break it. I'm going hunting for bugs! (meaning this in a very POSITIVE way. I love this game, and want to lend a hand in making it even better)
