You will actually need to start your game in 1960, simulate the 1960 season, and then take over as the manager of the 1961 Senators during the off-season and before the expansion draft takes place.

Otherwise, if you start in 1961, OOTP will use the 1961 rosters, which are based on the expansion draft already taking place.

Also, I'm assuming that you won't be using free agency. If you are, though, be very careful not to draft any players who are unprotected but are on expiring contracts. Otherwise they will become free agents and can leave your team even though you drafted them.
