Thank you, thehef, for your detailed response. Many things here that I will implement in future leagues.
I think the part that I am struggling the most with is the default import settings. All of the other threads that I've read on the subject, it seems the experts don't use historical minors. I like the premise of historical minors and am cool with some players flaming out and others becoming stars in an alternate universe.
I guess what I am most trying to do is import players similar to what they were in the historical year that I begin and go from there. I've tried a ton of different numbers for the adjust/weaken but am struggling to find the "digital blueprint" for how to import them. I will continue testing but am hoping maybe someone who uses historical minors frequently may be able to chime in some settings they use
