Is there a rule of thumb in terms of how many rounds an amateur draft needs to be in order to keep your minors stocked?
Currently in my fictional universe I have a draft of 30 rounds but each major league team has 9 minor league teams affiliated with it. That strikes me as too few rounds. I am wondering if something like 5 rounds per minor league team makes sense. That would yield a draft with a total of 45 rounds.

What do other players do?
