I feel your pain, except I started out in the AZL Rookie League, and had little outfielders, nobody really qualified to play the middle infield position, and anywhere from 10-12 catchers at a time. I used the standard 2009 quick start, and I think one of the problems were too many catchers were either created, or drafted by my team, and there were no outfielders or middle infielders even in the free agents, not even bad ones.

Someone suggested to me to use either feeder leagues, or fill the rookie leagues with fictional players. I had gone too far to do, and struggled through a miserable 18-35 year. Year 2 with another team, in the Appalachian league has gotten better so far, although there have been some weird things, like starting out with 56 players on my roster, or a group of 11 scrub first baseman leaving then coming back over and over again. I'd try either filling the rookie leagues with fictional players, or starting in 2010 because it has gotten much better after one year, with the couple exceptions I noted which slowly seem to be correcting over the course of 2010.
