Minor-league issue aside, I think this is a rather interesting setup. I have six major leagues, one for each continent + Oceania. Each has a AA and SA level minor league team. The leagues are associated, and the top 2 by winning percentage get a bye in the playoffs. 16-team leagues, no divisions or playoffs for now. No trading between leagues, no shared draft.

The interesting part is that while I turned international free agents OFF, I left create/maintain hidden players ON while putting in place no foreigner limits. What this does is let teams scout nations even outside their region for players. I think of it as my Brooklyn Pit Vipers finding a previously-unknown gem of a player (in this case, a potential stud SP from Japan) that was not garnering any draft interest in his current region.
