So for example I could conceivably take a middling team like Cincinatti Reds, and through lots of recruiting and trading, build it into a strong team, win a pennant and over decades build the strongest team in history . . . or something along those lines.

I suggest starting in 1920. Everything (stats, teams, league structure) in the real environment is pretty stable for 20 years, giving you a good environment to learn the game.
