No, but I don't believe that is the problem. Here is what I have, using that formula.
66 indie teams x 5 rounds = 330 players needed
330 / 6 = 55 feeder teams needed
I have 128 feeder teams. (Ok, I can probably tweak that to have slightly less, but this was just a test league after all.) Guys are being drafted by the indie league, staying for the two years before free agency and then never re-signing. I was thinking it might be because of the monetary disparity between MLB and the indies, but isn't a bad paying baseball job better than no baseball job?
