And if I do so, is there a way to avoid fictional players? I am assuming OOTP does not have player profiles for non major leaguers back in 1903.
Thanks for your help!

You don't have to create them, you just need to check the historical minors to be ON (I think it is in the HISTORICAL tab) and the game will handle it from year to year. This is the only way I know to access minor league players automatically - and the game still classes NeLers as "minor leaguers" even though it now treats some of the stats as MLB-equivalent. It does have profiles for all minor league players, although obviously things can get a bit hinky because of the paucity of accurate stats for these guys, especially in those early days.
I think if you just make sure the fictional FAs option is DISABLED then you shouldn't see any fictional players coming in.
BUT...
There can be some roster issues in the Minor Leagues, so I would recommend you allow ghost players in the NiLB levels if you do start having these problems. There's also an option to not allow fictional players to enter the MLB level.
