The fix for this would be a check box to make the player unavailable as a substitute for the computer, but the amount of micromanagement that would take would be daunting. That kind of detailed roster information simply doesn't exist that far back.
Edit: BTW, I was anti Perfect Team as well, but I've come around. The game is fun if you don't take it too seriously, you don't have to spend a nickel unless you're invested in being in a Perfect League, and it has clearly been a rousing success for the company. You can spend exactly as much time on your team as you want to spend. Furthermore, the existence of Perfect Team and the people who obviously do take it seriously has given Markus more of an incentive and the company more resources to make the AI improvements we're all looking forward to. I don't think I'm going to get an accurate 19th century out of this, but the overall quality of the historical replays will improve.

Oh wow, I actually almost sent you a pm the other day. You wouldn't happen to be the Shreveport Captains in a Silver League with the Saginaw Gears in your division, would you?
I agree with you on the Cobb deal, but, I have to think there were times when he was actually out of action. 1914 he only played in 98 games.
