I agree with everything that you mentioned!!! In my opinion, it makes expansion very unrealistic. One thing to keep in mind is that depending on your import settings, historical rookies import at a higher ability level. So, even though a player may be at a "lower level" in game, they might be able to help you when the next season comes along due to player development or recalc (depending on how you choose to play). I love this approach that I stumbled upon because for any historical expansion, you just start a year early and voila you will have full minor league rosters ready for you to build around and/or make trades. Has made a big difference in my immersion already.
