Every time I play a historical sim starting in 1903, once I get to around 1908, there are so many top draft picks who never sign with their teams, even when it says they sign with the team that drafted them minor league organization. Their entire careers just stay in limbo and they never play an inning of baseball within the game universe
Perfect example: According to the game, Vin Campbell is the best player in baseball with an 80/80 overall rating. He was drafted by the Cardinals in 1907 and signed a minor league contract with their organization with a signing bonus of $1,430
However, it is 1912 and Vin has still never played an inning of baseball. He’s certainly not the only example of this either. Vic Saier, Jack Dalton, Ray Collin’s and Al Klawitter are more examples of top 20 players NEVER playing an inning of baseball in their careers
This is my second historical sim this is happening and I can’t believe I am the only one seeing this.

Do you have the option on that requires teams to sign their top draft picks? It's in the rules section, below where you chose how many rounds your draft is. If you look at your screenshot above, Ruth and Hornsby aren't on teams. Can you look at Ruth's or Hornsby's player history page and see if under the news of him being drafted, if there's another line about him failing to sign? Could the bug be that the game isn't returning these players the following season so they can be drafted again. Instead, they are just hanging in limbo. I don't have 26, or I would test this.
Seems like if this was a problem of teams having too many players on their reserve rosters, these players would be released and immediately signed by another team as free agents. Seems like teams would drop Tom Veryzer and sign Ruth or Hornsby.
