See what I'm asking for?
The bonus thing I'd like to happen is for players to be signed as free agents by team in their region when it's time, in some automatic way. For example, when Cy Young shows up he's signed by a team in Ohio; when Ty Cobb shows up he's signed by a team in the deep south; Walter Johnson is signed by a team in California; Babe Ruth is signed by a team in the mid-Atlantic states; etc. Kind of like real life.

You shouldn't have to do much manipulation at all. You
might have to press "clear all rosters" once a year on the MLB league you have running - but it could be that it's possible to have all players come in as free agents automatically, I'm not sure. If you have that league never playing games it's as if it doesn't exist except as a procedure to import players.
I don't think if it's possible to have players automatically signed by regional teams though. I've thought for a while it might be cool to have an option for how "local" leagues should be.
