Most of the players in the higher minors had at least a cup of coffee at some point. You could use their own ratings.
But part of the reason for doing this is to learn about Gern Blanstien of the 1922 Oakland Oaks. I want to know whether he was Tom Veryzer or Mark Belanger. I know most players who play historical sims emphasize the sim part of the equation. I put a lot more stock in the historical part of it. The wonder of historical minors is there are suddenly tens of thousands of new players I never heard of that I can put through their paces and learn about. Having the fielding all be the same kills my suspension of disbelief.
