I have SSA in my universe. I simply recreated them. I went the other way with the low minors compared to real MLB, I expanded them. I have Rookie, Rookie + which per the development modifiers is halfway between Rookie and SSA, SSA then Low A and so on. Every team has the same number of minor league teams (1 Rookie, 2 Rookie+, 2 SSA then the usual up from there).
My age limits are: Rookie 21; Rookie+ 22; SSA; 23 Low A 24 High A 25; AA 25; AAA no limit.
Rookie + was done so I'd have a bridge for kids drafted out of high school not yet ready to move from Rookie ball to SSA, but forced off the one Rookie ball roster by the next draft class. As for the modifiers, Rookie has modifiers that are either .500 or .600 depending, for Rookie + they're .550 and .650. It also gave me a reason to make a lot more fictional uniforms
