So the 6 team East division would have their own team and the West division would have their own team you can rank them by how good they are. this would take place during cup if you are not using the player in the cup or it could take place during the classic but some minor leaguers might not be eligible since they might be representing for the smaller countries

It's my favorite part of Broken Bat but, I think I'd rather see a winter league like those suggested elsewhere in the forums than a tournament. Something where you send a couple prospect to a winter league similar to the pre-Castro Cuban League during the dead period of the minor league schedule to play a few series and get one extra training update. It'd kill three birds with one stone. It would add a layer of strategy and self-determination to the minors. It would make player development even more interesting and it would be fun to run your guys out and see how they stack up in actual simmed games against the best minor leaguers in the game.
