It is a myth that feeder leagues are needed or are even helpful in stats only play.......the stats that high schoolers (especially) and college players generate have close to a random correlation to future success......it is better to turn the stars on for a normal draft, I think (and turn them off after the draft is over - and don't peek at your other players).....this way, in the future, you'll know that the 1st round picks at least really had talent when they were drafted.....of course, with feeder leagues and using stats only, you will know the same thing, but only for the draft picks of the AI teams, who will not be stupid enough to consider the feeder league stats in their assessment of players.....

And it looks stupid to me when the first player picked in the draft is a guy who hit .230 in high school......but that same player in a normal draft would have excellent HS stats generated and then hit .200 in rookie ball (which is more believable).....
