I initially tried the thing with not initiating trades but that just seemed stupid to me as it would not really give me much to work with. SO I modified that rule to only trading for players who played for the franchise in real life. I'll use the Jays as an example.

With the Gambo database, I was able to trade for players such as Dave Winfield, Paul Molitor, Jack Morris and Dave Stewart prior to the 77 season. I also allow myself to trade for players who did not play for the real-life Jays if I include them in trades for these other guys. ie. I obtained Ozzie Smith with Dave Winfield and Bob Welch with Dave Stewart.

As far as free agents go, I never really seem to have enough money to sign any but I say go for whoever I can get. It's how I picked up George Brett as he never seems to stay in KC.
