I don't have a basis for answering most of your post without knowing more about how to plan to populate your minor leagues in the first place. If you using the Lahman DB, you will only have a handful of players for the minors, for example. If you are planning to populate the minors with a lot of real players, and just need to fill a few gaps (especially when injury caused), then ghost players make sense. Otherwise, I prefer to use fictionals rather than to have several hundred Joe Unknowns in the game.
