You can do all this, just takes some planning. I have a MLB-***-PCL-NAL random debut league set up startied in 2000. I also have slowly been working on a 100% accurate teams fictional players league currently stuck in 1884.

I have had an idea similar to yours of having the PCL and the Negro leagues as ML's and not having west coast expansion. The only issue i have had with this is i have to manually edit the draftees to have just AA;s go to teh Negro league and keep the draft of the other 3 leagues white. In a test It worked for 2-3 seasons but with trading with other leagues on, the Black Barons got raided by the Yankees and Joe DiMaggio was playing for Birmingham while Satchel Paige was in NY. I used Spritze DB which had many *** players in it and the NAL players I wanted.
The only thing I have found hard to replicate is players going off for war then still being relevant after being retired for 4 yrs and canceling the 1994 WS. Now you can play the as is 1994 schedule(located in the schedules folder AP vs non AP) which should nullify the WS, but I did not know that at the time. In my History of the White Sox I had the 1st WS in 1903 but not in 1904. then brought it back in 1905.
