I actually made a request that the AI use the same custom draft filter on free agents to insure some big stars dont get undervalued. There was a season in one of my games where I had a real stupid team. Ken Griffey Jr (off a injury plagued season), Frank Thomas (after he had a so so season), Edmonds, Glavine and bunch of others (i think I had 9 or 10 super stars on that team) and none of them made much money at all. It was a laughable season and I started a new league after that.

Sorry to go back to this theme. I hear and understand everything that's been said about the Historical Players in a Stats Only league. I'm considering setting up a house rule for myself not to draft them and only acquire them after they've been in MLB for a couple seasons. Should be enough time for the CPU to at least give them a somewhat more reasonable valuation. Think this might eliminate some of the advantage?
