I don't think there is anything wrong with how the game handles this. It makes perfect sense for Negro Leaguers especially. It just doesn't work as well in historical games with fictional aspects to them. Some sort of checkbox along the lines of "all first-year players from minor league DB get placed in the draft pool, no exceptions... no, not even you." would be ideal.
I haven't got to test the name change scenarios yet as I'm in the middle of a season, perhaps sometime tomorrow, if not Monday.
