Have any of you ever tried something similar to the following?

I will create a historical league starting in 1975. I will create 3 levels of minor leagues, AAA, AA and A. I will use the require full minor league rosters feature. Since this league will be a mixture of real MLB players and OOTP created fictional players, I will use the OOTP development engine and turn off recalc.

So, if I don't want an amateur draft and simply want MLB players to debut on their real teams, how will OOTP go about ensuring all teams have full minors? I know the game will randomly create fictional players to fill the 1975 minor league rosters. What I'm curious about is what happens in future years? I don't want a draft, because I want to see guys like Thompson, Kemp, Parrish, Trammell, Morris and Whitaker debut with the Tigers. But, I'm curious, how the game goes about ensuring the minor league rosters are full when the teams are only getting the debut players added to their systems each year, which probably ends up being 6-8 players or thereabouts.

Have any of you tried this?
