I started in 1977, and am having a lot of fun with seeing how the real-life players turn out in this re-assessment of history.

However, I'm concerned because of the lack of minor leaguers. Is there any way to get the players to be drafted in the year they actually were? For instance, Steve Trout was picked in the first round of the 1976 draft, but he's nowhere to be found here. I want players to be drafted, then spend some time in the minors before they arrive in the majors - is there any way to finagle that in this game?
