Fictional with historic players

Does anyone play mostly fictional with the occasional "real player" thrown in? If so, when do you add the real player?

For example, say I started a fictional league in 1940 and started simming. At some point I'd want to manually add Jackie Jensen to the league but I don't want him to just magically appear in the majors in 1950 at the age of 23 (like he did in real life). I'd like to add him to a feeder league a few seasons earlier and then just allow things to progress randomly.

Has anyone had any success doing this? I've tried manually creating feeder league players with very, very high potential ratings (just as a test) but it hasn't really been working out. That is, they don't seem to be developing very well.

Thanks.
