Better handling of drafted players

This was brought up in the General forum, but I thought I'd post my suggestion here:

It's been mentioned that in a "real-life" (i.e. non-fictional) league, with the amateur draft, players are automatically assigned to an organization's Dominican Summer League team because that's the lowest-ranked team in an organization.

However, that's not realistic, as the vast majority of drafted players (who are drafted out of the US, Canada and Puerto Rico) are assigned to a team in the Gulf Coast League or Arizona League (or Rookie League teams).

I understand not wanting to hard-code in something that assigns draftees to a GCL/AZL team (especially because some orgs don't have one). But my suggestion is a drop-down box, located on the options page with the other draft options, that allows the user to select which minor league team drafted players should automatically be placed in.

International complex players who "age up" should continue to automatically be placed in the DSL team, because that is realistic.
