That's not a bad idea, but I'd like to play using the current MLB division and team structures, so I can only go back as far as the last expansion (1998). This helps some because I don't know the players as well, but I'll still be able to guesstimate what the ratings are for a lot of the good players.

What I really would like is a modern MLB structure populated with completely fictional players that come with an appropriate level of fictional stats (i.e., if one of my new players has 4 yrs experience, the computer shows his 4 yrs of stats, whether in the majors or minors).

If this isn't possible to set up, I'm curious what others using the 'stats only' approach have done when they create new games.
