The problem I have with this type of expansion is filling out the minor league teams ... the expansion draft only allows 35 picks ... even delaying the major league season by a week and minor league seasons by a week or two, it is difficult to get the minor teams all filled with FAs, waiver pick-ups, etc. ... I usually end up deleting 2-3 minor league teams so I only have a couple to fill ... it also takes a long time since you have to offer FAs one at a time ...

Does anyone know if there is a solution to this - something I have overlooked or am doing wrong?
You could fill the rest of the expansion teams rosters with fictional players, but since you seem to like things more realistic this might not be an option for you.

The major issue here is with expansion teams is there just isn't enough players to go around without having fictional and/or ghost players.
