Depends on what is meant by "historical minor leaguers".
If you mean having minor leagues for the "cop of coffee" major league players, or for major league players before their ML debuts, the trouble there is the nature of the minor leagues, particularly in their earlier years. If you're willing to have greatly simplified and streamlined minor leagues, then something could be cobbled together.
If you mean all the minor league players who never made it to the majors, there is no database of players and statistics which encompasses minor league history. SABR is currently gathering such data—the results of which show up at Baseball Reference—but there is a long way to go. In some cases, due to the sheer number of players who have appeared in the minors, it's not clear if a particular name is the same player or two different fellows with the same name.
