I'm trying to set up a world where there is no amateur draft, but still have a feeder league that releases players into free agency when the age limit is reached. I've tried doing it a few different ways:

1) Independent feeder league. Problem with this is that I can't find a way to make the players in the feeder league have major league potential ratings. Traditional PCM's all set to 1.00 and sabermetric PCMs set to .400 gives maybe one or two players over thousands that have major league potentials. Moving Sabermetric PCMs to 1.00 only serves to make every player major league quality in current ratings at age 16.

2) Feeder league that feeds into a major league that doesn't have an amateur draft. Ratings are not the problem here, those look great as they should. Problem here is that the feeder league players just sit in limbo as being draft eligible for eternity.

3) Feeder league that feeds into a major league with one round draft. I don't want to have a draft, but I figured maybe if I had a one round draft where the best players are drafted, the rest would get dumped into free agency after the draft. This does not happen. The players are over the age maximum for the feeder league but apparently return to school when they are not eligible to play.

The best would be to have the feeder league simply dump all players over the age eligibility into the free agency pool after the season has ended! Is there any way to make this happen?

No, the answer I'm looking for is not a draft. I don't want a draft, I want to simulate a free market system for players coming out of amateur ball.
