I've been trying different numbers like 25 and even as high as 40 once. My preference is to only use real players with no fictional, but don't mind using fictional if necessary to fill out minor league rosters with fictional players unable to reach Majors.

I've been leaving box unchecked for "Allow incomplete minor league rosters (ghost players). Does that mean fictional players are created as needed to fill rosters?
I'm not sure on the answer to this, as I play random debut historicals, which are an entirely different kettle of fish. For one thing, you get 44 players per team to start the game regardless of what year you start in. Because of this I use a five round draft, and in expansion years I bring in enough players for six rounds, but otherwise it's five. If you're using full minors that won't be enough. I use unlimited reserve rosters, so I'm probably not the best person to help you here, but at least I can bump your thread.
