Definitely something to do with talent and/or position distribution among the remaining free agents.
Started another sim in 1901 with an 8 team minor league. Made it through 1901 with no fictional players. Added another 8 team minor league for 1902. There were a couple of teams that just refused to fill out their rosters, resulting in the generation of fictional players. I rolled back to 1/1/1902, released all the players currently on the existing minor league clubs reserve rosters. This seemed to help. There were "better" players available, which helped the recalcitrant clubs fill their rosters.
