Well not absolutely sure on all your questions. I defenitely will evaluate things and check how much work all my ideas are.

I'd like to start with clean RecordBooks in 1980. If I don't like the results, I could add original stuff (before 1980) manually. But usually I think the era-start of Modern Baseball (1980) is a good point, as previous stats are diffecult to compare in my opinion.

As for the rookies: Yes I will assign the rookies to the original teams. My idea is to use the rookie DB of Gambo to contribute that. This will also give us filled minors at owner-action start.

The Free-agent /hold-players-with-original-teams/change-players-teams-when-they-changed-in-real-life AREA seems the most diffecult for me. Also the addition of COL and FLA 1993.
I'm not sure how to handle this right now, because of the ton of work to keep them up-to-date.
Maybe i will run league stuff through 1992, add Florida and Colorado at the start of the 1993 season, assign all players to their original 1994 teams, turn the existing 1 year contracts to 2 years (to keep them after 1993), run the 1993 season and switch to 6 divisions after 1993.
Any other suggestions out there??

other sidenotes:
- I will use a salary cap for the history simming because the gap between the have and have-nots will turn too big otherwise.
- Computer trading will be off.
