Thanks for your post. It's so true that teams switched affiliates with maddening regularity. I went to baseball reference.com and saw that within 5 years after I began my 1955 Senators league that they only still had one of the affilates left from then by 1960. I wish when an affiliate goes defunct that the game would simply put their players in a affilate still associated with your Mlb team instead of them becoming FA's. Several of my players were reassigned like this but I still had about 75 others disappear which is half of my players.

I was wondering if you turn import real minor leaguers on when you start your league as usual and then after they are imported turn it off so it wouldn't 'maintain real minor leagues'. As long as it still imported historical players for the draft each year I guessing that might work as a workaround.
