So I'm wondering ...
1) if these same 775 players will be available in the OTTP 1977 draft (held DEC 15)?

2) if draft is 25 rounds (400 players if all 26 teams draft someone each round), will the 125 historical players not drafted become available as free agents?

3) If draft is, say 50 rounds (800 players) will computer generate an additional 25 players to complete the draft or will draft end once 775th player is selected?
Minor leaguers are not available in RD only MLers. so No for #1. What AJ said for the other 2.
I dont think even if you played historical MLB that all of the 775 players drafted in 1977 would be available.
