All right, so I started my great experiment again with a fictional league, and started a dynasty even in the Dynasty forum. However, I just realized I had a problem.

See, when I did this the last time (back in OOTP 8 I think), the way I did my inaugural draft, I filled the minors, released everyone, filled them again, released everyone again, and then started the draft. If memory serves, the draft went without a hitch, and the draft pool was wholly comprised of the free agents. My entire goal was to start the league and have no player over like 24 in the entire thing. (The general purpose was to make the first few seasons insanely unpredictable.)

I tried that again this time, but I just noticed that I had guys getting drafted who had supposedly been in the league a dozen years or more, or even almost close to retirement age. Restarting from a backup, this time I just outright deleted EVERY player in free agency, then ran the draft. Surprisingly to me, the draft still happened.

So, clearly, the draft pool for an inaugural draft has little or nothing to do with the free agent list. Which means, I'm TOTALLY misunderstanding something, especially given that I don't see a "Draft Pool" option anywhere where I could, say, wipe out the draft pool list. So I'm not sure what to do.

Is there a way I can do what I'm attempting to do? Basically, I want the first season -- the inaugural draft -- to be comprised of players basically pulled from Triple- or Double-A. I don't want anyone past their mid-20s if possible (unless players show up in Triple-A that old), and I definitely don't want anyone established skill-wise. I know I can use the "Erase MLB Service Time" command as an emergency if there's no way around the former, but as for the latter, I'm not sure how I can pull that off if the draft pool is pre-set some how.
