I would stay away from modern day when playing random debut. I've tried several times and was never successful. The problem has always been batter strikeouts being way out of whack. I'm talking Babe Ruth striking out 280+ times in a single season. I personally would not try to play random debut any time after 2009, For me the sweet spot years wise is 1946-the mid 90's.
Random debut does an excellent job of providing a realistic mix of ages and talent levels for the inaugural draft. The game is going to provide you enough players for a 44 round inaugural draft. For example, if you start your league in 1977 the game will import 1144 random players for the inaugural draft(26 teams x 44 rounds = 1144 players). Based on this, if you add minors right from the start, ghost players will be a must. You might want to go with reserve rosters for a period and then add minor leagues as your league acquires more players.
