Will one legend be added each year?

Is there still a draft?

Is it possible a newly created "legend" might have to sit in the minors for a while until their stats start to max out? (I haven't played OOTP in a few versions, so I'm not sure what changes might have occurred to player development.)

Can legends get injured?

Finally, can Legends be traded?

I really like the concept. It sounds like you're taking decent steps to "balance" the legends, making them "a step above" but not overly dominant. I think it was in Bull Durham where Kevin Costner's character points out the difference between the majors and the minors is 1 hit a week. That roughly holds true for a good player and a legend.

Reporter: Mr. Cobb, how well would you do if you played the game today?
Ty Cobb: Oh, I'd hit .310, or .315.
Reporter: But Mr. Cobb, you hit over .400 three times in your career. Why would you only bat .300 today?
Ty Cobb: Well, you have to remember. I'm 72 years old now.

Thanks,
Chad S
