maybe if we knew ahead of time what affiliates were to disappear, we could make a list of players, and put them on Reserve, or 40 man after the fact - using the commish mode.
i guess, short of looking up which teams have affiliates each year, we're sort of in the proverbial dark? Bummer, but i guess i can use BB reference to see the minors each year. in case anyone else is interested, i found a spot where the teams and their affiliates are listed by year ....

The problem with that is, the AI isn't going to do anything to deal with an upcoming affiliate loss. So, you as a human can dominate by simply taking advantage of your historical knowledge.
This is a case of the game making this great addition to the game, but then handcuffing it by allowing history to dictate its use. We as users have the ability to set the game to follow historical expansion. In doing so, we can either have the game assign the original expansion players to each team, or we have the option to hold an expansion draft and let teams take on a history of their own. Why should historical minors be any different?
