Sounds like a lot of work.

What happens when the game generates new historical rookies at the beginning of each subsequent season? You would likely have two players in the game with the same name. I suppose that's the only problem though -- I don't think the game will get confused as to which is the real one.

Anyway, I don't have much else to add. I know in the past when I've tried to align "real" minor league teams with the ML organizations in an historical league, it began to get messy. For one thing, minor league teams changed their affiliations so often (plus you sometimes had to choose which AA team to use because some ML organizations would have more than one, for example), not mention going from dependent to independent. It was way more trouble than I wanted for a solo league.
