If anyone wants to test it out, the attached includes a MiLBTeams,csv file that has at least one affiliate for every MLB team, beginning in 1921. (The file does not include any MiLB teams after 1945; I did this so the file would be small enough so as to not exceed forum file size limits.)
I didn't spend much time figuring out what affiliate should go with what team; it's only for testing... To test you would need to replace the MiLBTeams.csv file in your ...\Documents\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 17\stats folder with the file in the attached. First rename your original MiLBTeams.csv file to something like MiLBTeams-original.csv, and then rename the attached to MiLBTeams.csv... I would recommend starting several years prior to 1921 in order to build up a bunch of reserve players (who will eventually go to affiliates) and minor-league free agents...
Added: I do plan to test it myself. Just not sure when I'll get to it, and perhaps someone will want to beat me to it.

thanks. i looked at the CSV files earlier today in my game and relaized the need to change the original files name. But good heads up in case i (or someone else) may have missed that!
i didn't look too far past the mid 20's, but your list is impressive, if for nothing else a tutorial.
do i understand it right, that the game will still create it's own minors, and the IND changed ones will also be recognized. If so - WOW!!!! i'll give it a look when i get a few days off, and time to tinker with it seriously. Again, great hope and thanks for taking the time to create that file.
EDIT: had a free couple of hours this evening, created a new Test League and loaded your CSV file (used 1922 thru 1925).... seems about half the teams loaded with minors and half didn't - even though in the csv file they all had associations. Tinkered with the default file (did save the original under new name) ... and pretty much the same thing ..... however, when i went to the Teams/affiliation settings in the game and added a team to the PLC or Texas League .... they showed up in the game. But when i saved the data and quit the game, nothing changed in the CSV file (maybe it doesn't save there ????,) so i don't know how long the associations would work. i moved ahead into 1925 and the ones i changed in game were still active. Hmmmmm...... dunno what to think at this point. More experimenting on the horizon it looks.
