So, if Tom Seaver debuted in 1967, I want him to be playing in a feeder league during the 1966 season of my simulation. Does that clarify?

Also, I'm not sure where to import historical rookies from. I get to the import historical rookies option and I'm not sure where to go from there. Any chance you can help? I'm using default historical rosters for my league. I appreciate all the help!
Definitely clarifies. I don't think there is a way to mass import historical players so that they appear in the draft that is void of fictional players.
Click on league transactions at the bottom of your league screen.
Click on import historical player
Choose historical database in the data/stats folder.
Enter historical ID
Enter season year.
Choose either real stats or neutralized stats
click import player and you should be good.

You can get the historical player I.D. from baseball reference.
I.E. Tom Seaver's player I.D. is seaveto01
