I don't get the fascination with real rosters. Let me qualify that though: I have played them. I've played Rolen's and Cubby's rosters with 5, 6 and 2006and I've really enjoyed playing them. However, after that first season, you start introducing fictional elements anyways. Even with the ammy draft, if you do a 25 round draft you're introducing a lot of fictional players. Add in the fact that the real kids you drafted end up progressing very quickly and by the time you start the second season you are well into the "what if" scenario and moving away from the "realistic" scenario. Whenever I've played those roster sets I knew going in that I was only going to get something approximating one "real" season and if I played each game out inning by inning maybe I'd get a couple of months of real time playing one season. If I'm just simming, it gets fictional within a day or two.
