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.
This is pretty much what I want. I like playing "historical fictional" -- a universe where there are no "major" or "minor" leagues per se, just (fictional) professional baseball clubs, with the top players gravitating toward the top clubs in the biggest cities. I've always wanted to be able to have access to all MLB and MiLB (and NeL) players to fill out my rosters, but it doesn't quite seem to work that way. You can't use the MiLB players without real minor league teams being created -- and I don't want the teams, just the players.

I've also adjusted the MiLB Master db by assigning random first names to all the guys named "Ballplayer", which I switched to Nickname. (For instance, Ballplayer Abadie is now John "Ballplayer" Abadie. Looks a lot better.)
