Tiger Fan did a great job of explaining how you can have minors prior to when they are introduced in OOTP... I haven't read through these in awhile, so I don't know the diff betw the two threads... (As I recall, there's a lot of the same info in them, but there are some differences.)

Yep, that's what happens. The way around that is to edit your milbteams.csv, milbleagues.csv, and era_stats_minors.txt files to match the setup of the minors that you want to see, because OOPT reads these files each time the game proceeds to the offseason (usually in late-Oct right after your postseason is complete).
Note, though, that OOTP does not read these files at game creation. So if, for example, you've modified the files above so the PCL appears in 1910, you'd need to start your game in 1909 or earlier (if you start your game with the 1910 season, the PCL wouldn't appear until 1911).
