I've said this to my owners and I beleive I've said it here in the passed, but there is no such thing as a "realistic" online league. Any league that strives to be "realistic", or considers themselves "realistic" is flat out lying to themselves. No fictional league is realistic, because the fact that you're not using the same teams and the same players that the MLB uses, makes it "un-realistic". Any league that enforces trading rules, stating that no team can make so-and-so amount of trades is not realistic, because guess what, the MLB doesn't have such a rule. Online leagues are better off doing that they think works for them rather than trying to pick and choose what the MLB does and turn them into guidelines.
