Okay, then I recommend doing what Barkingturtle does. Since you want a 16 team league you can basically start using any year in history 1901 on. Simply use the historical wizard to create your league in the year you wish to start.
Very important. Make sure you uncheck the box for historical expansion. If you leave the box checked, any changes you make will revert to history during the offseason. Once you've created your league, you can go to league settings and select edit league structure. From there you can remove teams, change team locations, assign team nicknames etc. You can add divisions and or delete subleagues as well. Just make sure you create a new schedule to go with any changes you make. If you created minor leagues, you will want to make the required edits to them as well. Or you may want to create your minor leagues after you've made your edits. I play with reserve rosters, so Barkingturtle may be of more help in that regard.
Just for info sake, the inaugural draft for random debut imports enough players for a 44 round draft. So for example if you start in 1978 and delete 10 teams to get down to 16 teams, your inaugural draft will have enough players for 71 rounds with a handful of undrafted players.
