IMO Feeder leagues are doing exactly what they were designed to do: create a draft pool with a statistical history. I don't believe Markus & Co. ever intended them to emulate real amateur baseball in any way.
For the function they do have they are also a bit of a pain. A 30 team league with four minor league levels needs 150+ feeder to make a draft pool. That is 150+ teams playing games, churning out players, creating history, and using game resources.
IMO the best way to improve feeders isn't to emulate amateur baseball rather it's add a function to delete players who never played professionally. There is already an option to delete players who never played in the majors.
Just my $.02 on feeders
