Similar we have Chipper Jones that was drafted out of HS in 1990, but in your DB he could then make himself (how) unavailable and pop up 4 years later after his college years.
Is this really the case ???
We also have the effect that a newly drafted player doesn´t get signed correctly and could then perhaps go off to college. Will he later pop up again or just drift into oblivia ?
Manny Ramirez out of HS in 1991 as in RL, or 4 years later, or what ??
Since some OOTP11 or 12 drafted players need to be signed, so some effect must be obvious.
I agree it would be easier to just permit players pop up with their "correct" team when they really did.
I understand that Triple, Double and Single A leagues are needed, but what about Rookie Ball ???
Any more hints on how to set this up without surprises down the road ??
Ex. Financials that looks strange. I found out that OOTP lowest ML salary for 1987 is 114000, but in RL it was 62500 I think.

All of the questions noted above mostly depend on your choices and how you play the game.
If you have a draft players can make their pro debut after HS or go play college ball for a while or they may or may not sign with you and wait for the next draft. It all just depends.
You might also investigate Gambo's Pro Debut database as an alternative to the High School Graduates database. It is a different take on a similar theme.
