You are very correct Carplos, thanks for chiming in. I did not anticipate the extent of the trading. I didn't much mind it early on before 1903 when it 'fit nicely' with 'contract jumping' but back then I didn't allow foreigners in the majors either. Couple this with my small roster sizes (18), ghost minors, and the 'major league ready' imported players, player movement was at times too free or too restricted. Recalc may also be playing a role because several of "the Boys" have had great seasons only to be traded for nothing, released, or sent to the minors. My PCL actually is an equal league (a slight mistake on my part) and they still make 'dumb' trades and the players created within aren't equal (strike out more and hit for more power). This will have some implications for the Federal League when it comes, if I choose to add it.

It would seem for historical universes it's best to keep things straight cut and simple or else its a slippery slope.
