Question / League Prep

OK, so, for all of you obsessive-compulsive league creators like me out there...

I like to painstakingly configure my little baseball world. It's a pretty straightforward fictional league that looks like this:

New World Baseball League (ML) - 2 SL x 2 D x 6 T = 24 teams total
New World Prep League (AAA) - same setup as ML
New World Middle America League (AA) - 2 SL x 2 D x 6 T = 12 teams total
New World Northeastern League (AA) - 2 SL x 2 D x 6 T = 12 teams total
New World Texas League (A) - same setup as ML
New World Canadian League (S A) - same setup as AA
New World Golden State League (S A) - same setup as AA
New World Liga Mexicana (R) - same setup as AA
New World Southern Florida League (R) - same setup as AA

All of these teams have custom logos, jerseys, and caps taken from various places. I don't know a HUGE amount about minor league baseball, so it's possible I'm using actual team nicknames and logos in some cases.

I play stats only, and use feeder leagues to keep my drafts populated with
players with actual stats. (Although I don't pay much attention to the names of teams and so on.)

Anyway, I set all of this up, and then I like to sim without touching anything for 10-15 seasons, so that I get a nice base of history. Then I take over as a manager at rookie ball and manage for a year. I like to see if I can get promoted, but at the end of the day I will promote myself if I have to to keep things moving.

But one of things I like to do is inspect the league a bit after the long sim, just to make sure everything looks OK, before I actually start playing.

If there is anyone out there who does something similar, what sorts of things do you look for when you spot check the league?

Thanks!!
