Historical leagues, especially these olde times leagues, barely need minors at all. Every single player appeared in the majors for at least a cup of coffee in the year in which they appear in our draft, so they are ALL "major league ready". The free agent list is loaded with mediocre look-alike players, so I try not to keep any of those hanging around my system when I remember to take the time to purge. I only use AAA to develop the occassional pitcher who needs his control to come up to potential or maybe force a batter to play a position he has some weak defensive skill in in the hopes he comes up a tick or 2. I don't think you'll find a historical league out there that has more than AAA, most don't even have that they only have the taxi squad thing.
