Minor league depth...

Okay, getting ready to seriously get into OOTP.....planning out my league "set up" on paper, organizing things, etc.

For someone new to the game, how many different levels of Minors do you need to 1) create a "realistic" minors and 2) keep from being overwhelmed your first time around?

Since this is going to be new to me having a Rookie, Short Season, A, HI-A, AA, AAA along with a MLB squad might be too deep....

I run 5 levels in my fictional league. I delegate promotions and lineups to the AI, but handle all player signings. Twice a year, right before the draft and before free agency I release the again/no potential minor leaguers to make room for young talent. It's nice to have about 2 decent prospects at each position + 3-4 pitching prospects in the farm, so I like the deep structure
