Just to add my 2 cents in on this with first hand experience...
Simmed a league 30-40 years with 20 teams, expanded league with 4 more teams and jumped in with a franchise. AAA, AA, A, R all set to limit of 25 except Rookie with 35 limit. So, 24 teams now with 4 minor leagues. (HS and Col feeder not included with this league).
Expansion draft went perfect. When the 1st year player draft came along I had 23 players in the Rookie League, 12 spots open. Draft was set to 20 rounds. AI teams had the same or less spots open, some even full to the 35 limit in the R league. I let my #1 scout draft the 20 rounds, clicked over to the next day and aarrgghh!
I pretty much expected to only get 12 players and lose 8 based on the fact I had 12 open spots in R league. The AI did indeed give me 12 draftees, however, the 8 I didn't get were my first 8 picks, not the last 8 picks! Interestingly the AI teams received all there picks (no sign/release, not even one) and more interesting the AI teams instantly signed the 8 picks I lost!
So, no limit on the R league from now on or I'll make sure there are 20 spots open for the next draft.
