You can have the rookies populate on the correct team in the 1890's and not have to mess with the database. You just need to make sure the "Historical Team ID" and "Historical Franchise ID" are correct on the Team Settings pages. You can find these in the Teams file. Take the Cleveland Spiders as an example: The team ID is CL4, the Franchise ID is CLV. This doesn't change through the life of a franchise, at least in your case.

From 1892 on you will not need the draft on as there are no additional teams in the NL. You will hit a hump in 1901 when you add the American League. When 1900 ends the database loads and all AL players have nowhere to go. So they go to the free agent list. What I have done in the past is create the AL teams and either have those teams sign their correct players from the FA list, or turn transactions off from Nov-Feb and on the first day of the preseason turn financials off and have the AL teams sign the correct players free of charge and then turn financials and transactions on. Just something to think about.
