Don't know if it's too late in the process to get new ideas, but one thing I've ALWAYS wanted was an ability to simulate "representative" baseball.
Now that we can limit players on a team by country, and birthplaces are selected from a set database of cities - I believe this could be introduced quite easily using the same criteria, just at a city, and state level rather than country. The data is allready there, and obviously so is the criteria - it just needs combining).
Not sure how to put what I want into words, but what I see is:
World Championship (National Teams - USA, Mexico, Canada, etc)
National Championship (State Teams - California, Texas, etc)
State Championship (City Teams - Los Angeles, Dallas)
City Championship (Local Team - Nicknames).
Obviously all teams at each level are linked to one at the next level, so players can be called up/sent down amongst all the championships. If lower levels are limited by birthplace, then players sent down will always 'return' to their original side.
