Can I start a solo league prior to spring training 2017?

not if you start in that year.

with fictional palyers, you can start before and erase all history / stats everything at the date you wish to start... it's just like starting new. in fact, i'd recommend any new fictional league sim ~20years at least before starting. drafted players are better than initial seed players to start a league.

with real-life players, you'd probably not want 'old' rosters to start. less arbitrary than fictional players.

you could still import real players over existing players once you get to the start date you want -- must re-use existing PlayerIDs, must be enough existing id's etc. copy paste with spreadsheet can make it easy to do and on correct teams, but if you aren't familiar it may take a few tries and some frustration.
