It's widely expected that in the next year or two, an international amateur draft will be put in place, and the free market in Dominican 16 year olds will come to an end. The Yankees and Red Sox both exceeded the spending limit this past year, and the Dodgers and Phillies are expected to this year, reportedly because they all expect the two-year ban on signings over $300,000 will be irrelevant soon.

Since OOTP doesn't have the ability to create a second draft, what, if anything would you do to try and recreate this? My initial thought is to create a feeder league that produces 16 year olds ... but where do they go? If I feed them into the regular draft, will that affect the talent pool of that draft?

Any other workarounds?
if you are using generated amateurs, you could have the game generate more rounds. That way it will create the same amount of amateurs to go along with your feeder league
