IMO the best way to improve feeders isn't to emulate amateur baseball rather it's add a function to delete players who never played professionally. There is already an option to delete players who never played in the majors.
Just my $.02 on feeders

I don't necessarily think you're wrong in that being the intent of feeder leagues. I do like the idea of being able to simulate college baseball as accurately as we can the majors.
If nothing else because the required rules would give us fictional players some nice options for other league types.
