[This is how I think MLB expansion should be done…] So, for example, three years before the first MLB season, you draft players, put them on developmental league teams. You have a low- A minor league team that you stock with minor league free agents. The next year you add a high-A team, with a few of your draftees advancing, more minor league free agents to fill out the roster. The next year, you add an AA team. By the time you get to the expansion draft, you have some idea of your organizational strengths and weaknesses, and you draft accordingly.

how exactly would this be handled? whats the best way to go about doing it? wouldnt you have to create the team to have the minor leagues be associated? do you just not have the team play games?
