Question regarding Amateur Draft in historical sims

Hi all, I'm currently doing my first historical save with the 2005 Milwaukee Brewers and it is going pretty well thanks to the help I have received from reading all of your posts on these forums. The only thing I would like to fix is related to the amateur draft every year.

I'm playing with development on, no recalc, as the development engine and managing my minor league rosters is one of my favorite aspects of the game.

However, it seems as though the game is filling the draft classes with players who debuted in the major leagues that year, rather than players who were actually drafted and started playing minor league ball that year. I am hoping there is a setting that I missed or misunderstood while setting up my sim that I can change to remedy this, as these draftees are coming, for the most part, already fully developed. I'd like to be able to watch them develop in the minors and have the development engine take over. As it is now, my minor leagues are mostly full of fictional players or players that were already in the minors in 2005 when my sim started.

Just to be clear, I do not mind the fictional players. I put them there on purpose so that teams have enough guys to fill out their minor league teams. The only thing I feel I am missing is the ability to draft undeveloped players and see them develop through the minors, rather than drafting mostly fully developed guys who usually just go straight to the big league team.

Thank you all in advance for any help you are willing to share, and please let me know if there is any more information that I can give that I have left out
