Since you mention them as independent, then I'd suggest making them feed into your MLB to achieve what you want.
Another suggestion: Create a new game and start up a simple league and add a feeder league to it, make sure you don't create any players for this league. Once it's created, go into your MLB (Parent League) and adjust the PCM's as you'd like.
Then go into your feeder league settings and use the "fill teams with fictional players" function. Next scroll down the leagues drop down menu and go to "reports and info", then "list all (league name) players".
That will give you an idea of what each PCM setting is creating in terms of players and talent, and potential. You can either delete all these players, or keep them once you feel it's created the balance you'd like.
The way to get it do disperse the talent to stronger teams, you need to individually fill each team with players based on the PCM's you'd like. For example, lets say you find a good result at .950, you would make sure the parent leagues PCM is set to .950 and then go to each individual team and fill with fictional players until all those teams are filled. Then you could go to lets say the mid majors and create them at .900, by changing the parent leagues PCM's again and individually filling those teams out. It's a bit tedious, but it will give you the results of having better players at better programs, you just need to play around with the PCM's, and by creating a new league to test this on is less cumbersome than trying to in a fully completed league.

These were separately created leagues that I have feeding the MLB draft in the rules page of the league settings, but they still have traditional and sabermetric pcms, so im not necessarily sure what theyre considered.
When I was testing, the vast majority had low overall ratings with higher potentials relative to MLB (aside from the 5 or so D1 players who had 45+ overall ratings), but there were way too many in each league that had 70+ potentials. In the default draft classes, the best players only have potentials around 65, which is normal.
