That one you seriously need LGO's input on. My uneducated thought would be to group them at the A, Short Season A and Rookie levels.

In real life probably 80% of the minor league teams in this era were composed mostly/entirely of independent players, which is to say not on any MLB roster or reserve list, and never having signed a contract or received a bonus from an MLB team. Some teams, and I'm going to say they were grouped at what today would be considered the AA/AAA levels, though I'm willing to be proven wrong, were largely composed of players who were in some way, shape or form associated with MLB clubs, and some entire teams were affiliated, though the relationship was different from what we call affiliation today.

What you would be calling the A/SA/R levels would be the equivalents of what were then the A/B/C/D/E levels.

Good luck with your dynasty. I hope you don't run into any more major glitches.
