There's an argument for it if you intend to integrate the league early. Regardless of the MLE used for the Negro Leagues, some number of real major leaguers will lose their jobs to Negro League and PCL players. The more qualified players there are, the better the argument for expansion in order to keep the full range of major league talent in the majors. It's a matter of individual preference.
