If they were to add a limit to the lowest leagues, I hope they allow us to set it in some way, because even having up to 60 players at a complex isn't entirely unrealistic when you have 35-man active rosters, plus players not assigned to another club and injuries.
Like I said when Battists posted that he'd like to see the rosters limited to 25-men like other minor leagues, it would completely ruin certain setups, like Japan or fictional setups who may not use as large of minors.
Again, I would prefer being able to setup limits for all minor leagues individually and am hoping it makes it into 2007.

Having 100 (Yes, 100!!) players on a rookie league team is just silly, no matter what you desire from a setup....
In real life, minor league teams don't even carry 25.
Playing time is the motto for the real minor leagues and there's no reason to have a player on the roster who isn't playing. You need a backup catcher, an infielder, and an outfielder, and that's it. With a 10-man staff, 20-22 players is the norm.
Even so, I wouldn't be overly concerned with this issue, except that there is NO ONE in the FA pool for me to sign when one of my own minor leaguers goes down with an injury.
Those of us who are striving for realism should not be the ones who have to worry about abstracting reality for game reasons unless absolutely required. Those of you who are setting up abstract realities to begin with can easily handle a little more abstraction.... You want more players in the minors just add another minor league team!
