Agree with most of this. To me the process is this:

1. Start MLB game
2. Release all players to FA
3. Delete all players

(I would stop and generate a backup here)

4. Use the option to fill all teams with fictional players
5. Go to FA and see how many FAs exist. Consider generating a bunch of low level fictional FAs to ensure there are plenty of players.
6. Consider increasing the value of “generate players for X rounds of draft” so that for a few years you get extra FAs after the draft. Up to you though.

Definitely another separate backup before you start playing too.

What I would really consider too is making a copy of the league and letting it sim overnight or something and then looking at it. Does everything look ok? Are numbers good? Are there enough FAs? Just as a sanity check. Then throw that league away.
