An idea for using actual protected lists but a sim-expansion draft... I don't know if it would work, or if it would but with unintended consequences... At any rate:

1. On the day of the draft, take all the protected guys and manually retire them (you'd need to be in commissioner mode).
2. Run the draft.
3. Unretire the protected guys and put them back on their teams.

I don't know how you handle this part: "At the end of the 1st round, NL teams could add 3 more safe players and AL players could add 4 more safe players. Same format for the end of the 2nd round. I'm not sure who was added between rounds." Maybe educated guesses?
