I've winded up with a Fictional/Historical combo that I really like -

The United Baseball League (UBL) is a 16 team league with 4 levels of minors (AAA, AA, A, R).

I've also got the Field of Dreams League (FDL), which is an 8 team indy league based out of the state of Iowa. At the beginning of each year, the FDL has their draft that is made up of random historical players from 1905-on.

Once the UBL and FDL wrap up their seasons, and before the UBL hits free agency, the UBL has their draft, which is filled from the FDL as well as computer generated players.

I've set the PCM's so the "real" players should be slightly better than their fictional counterparts, but not too significant since I still want the fictional players to be able to compete. I've also got the Talent Change Randomness set fairly high (somewhere in the 160-180 range) just to make sure some Hall of Fame talent occasionally busts.

It may be just for me, but I get a kick out of looking at the leaderboards after 25 years and seeing Rod Carew on top with fictional journeyman Jesus Toro right behind him, trying to knock him off if he can remain useful into his 40's.
