Jim Unknown is Back

I've lately had a few players showing up in my league with the name "Jim Unknown". Everything about the players seems normal -- they have ratings, national origins, etc. Some of them showed up in my first OOTP 19 amateur draft last year and now two have shown up as scouting finds. Should I be concerned about this? I was just going to change their names to something more sensible.

They are your "ghost" players
they get created when you do not have enough players to fill your slots
you can turn them off and on from the rules tab in game setup

I'm not sure they are ghost players. I have that option turned off. And these are showing up not on minor league rosters but in scouting discoveries and in the amateur draft.
