I think it would be an interesting challenge to play using the DL rules that used to exist in MLB. If you were a GM in 1955, for example, the short-term DL stay lasted a minimum of 30 days and you could only have two players on the DL at any given time. As if that weren't enough, there was no long-term 60-day DL (that rule wasn't put into place until 1960).
Basically, if you had a player who was going to be out of action for awhile, or you incurred a third injury, you'd have to choose between effectively playing a man short until the player healed, or releasing the player and bringing in someone else.
That's a very different scenario than GMs face today...
