along these lines .... if the minors can't be expanded from 1901 forward and include non-affiliated teams/leagues - that we could SOMEHOW affiliate with our game ML teams ..... and the Negro Leagues able to be integrated one way or another ....
how about, even if no (or only one or two) affiliates are available for teams, the ability to have player generated minors co-exist with the "real" minors designated by the game. probably a lot of programming that is not going to be used by the majority, but it certainly would make the game more enjoyable.
or if we create a fictional minor league system, that "real" minor league players could be drafted for them. The database exists, but i have no idea how hard the programming would be to make it happen, or how many people - besides those "few"of us that keep expressing this - would use it. i know i would.
