Ill take 5 &7.

I am sure I misread but if you get assigned a team w/ only 16 eligible players...you are basically screwed because you cannot use AAA or fillers? I dont know enough about which teams have that issue but I am SURE you do....hahaha.

Welcome, sir!

Yes, you understand the rules correctly. And in fact the 1903 Boston AL team has, only 16 eligible players. However, they have more than 5600 PA and more than 1460 IP, so they actually have more than enough players to make it through a season without fatigue. What they do NOT have, effectively, is a bench. The deadball era teams are particularly susceptible to this.

I have not researched every team; if anyone is concerned about this and doesn't want to take a chance on managing a team like the 1903 Americans, then I would advise you away from League 1 (early deadball era) and League 4 (WW2 era); other than those era, I don't suspect we're going to see much of an issue here. Personally, I think those 1903 Americans are a good bet to win the AL East in League 1, but your mileage may vary...

Ten different eras here, each with their own distinct characteristics and history! Play all of them if you like or just choose your favorites.

Those great 1950s Yankee and Dodger teams can rarely win in a traditional league; they get shutdown by deadball pitching, and there are few superstar pitchers from the era. But in this league - they'll be playing each other! Can you drag the '53 Dodgers to the title they probably should have won? Were the 54 Indians an all-time great team or was their upset by the Giants proof that they were a fluke? Which Giants team was best - 1951, 1954, or 1962? That's 3 very different versions of Willie Mays to choose from.

How about the 1930s? Those great teams have the same problem as the 50s and just can't compete in most leagues, but here we can ask who was better: the Ruth-Gehrig Yankees, the Foxx-Simmons-Grove A's, the Greenberg-Gehringer-Cochrane Tigers, or the Dickey-Dimaggio-Gomez Yankees? The Dizzy Dean-Cardinals or the Carl Hubbell-Giants?

The 1976-87 era saw some of the greatest parity in baseball history (interestingly, at a time when many pundits predicted free agency would lead to exactly the opposite). Seven different AL teams, and seven different NL teams made the World Series during those 12 seasons (and every team except the Indians, Rangers, and Mariners won the division at least once during that era).
