When I started playing OOTP back in version 5, I did an Orioles replay starting from 1998-2002 and imported rookies to original teams. Then I started another Orioles replay from 1970-2011, also with rookies to original teams.

With OOTP14, I started a league as the 1950 Browns, and I decided to switch to drafting real rookies. I LOVE the draft. It adds so much more realism, and while it makes me sad that guys like Eddie Murray and Cal Ripken may not eventually end up on my team, at least I'll be able to target young players I need instead of getting stuck with whatever the real Orioles that year had coming down the pipe.

Short answer: draft!
