1) as thehef said - i would like as many minors included as possible. i do realize there are limitations and issues to be worked out. So if C and D leagues were excluded for 18 or even 19, and the A AA AAA and maybe a few independents were thrown in, i'd be nearly delighted.

2) A FA draft for minor leagues? Not something i'd given any thought to before, but it could be a good thing. That might allow independent or unaffiliated leagues to get their players into the game. HMMM ... seems like a good thing to me.

3) Of course a third option (which i know isn't likely or maybe even programmable) would be for the game to allow user created minors to co-exist with the historical ones the game does offer. Of course, that might mean finding a way to import MiLB players into the game, and that would mean they'd need to be in a database we could access ... and ... and ... but it is an option.

4) Well, since the game is so flexible ... Dylan's "Most Likely You'll Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine)" came to mind. )(OK, i'm showing my age.) But again, that all depends on the avenues opened (or closed) in the next version ....
