Man, that's absolutely a dream list on paper.

Hopefully some of it, if not all, could come to pass in the next version. (getting old here and don't know how many more versions i'll be around for ....) i'd really love for the historical minors, even if unaffiliated, to go back to 1901, as well as the Negro Leagues ... so we could purchase those players for ML teams. (Or the NL as an independant League- Associated to ML, so there could be a WS between ML and NL.)

i personally am not so enamored with the minor league transactions, as long as the players went to the teams they were associated with ... of course with a draft, that doesn't happen anyway ... but i liked these ideas a LOT!

"All players would import in the year they started pro ball
Players who started pro ball with an MLB affiliate would import to that MLB organization
Players who started pro ball with an independent or negro league team would import to that particular independent or negro team".

that would mean a LOT more minor/independant teams to be created ..... (i'm working on expanding the 24 hour day to 36 for the developers!) but on a dream list, heck Yes!!!!!
