Vyper what did you do with the players for the Fort Wayne Kekinogas and Brooklyn Eckfords? did you leave them in the free agent area or sign them to other teams?

BaseballMan, good idea, the numbers I gave were just off the top of my head.

BasicGuy, In the early years there were a few teams that I didn't include (1875 comes to mind when there were 12 teams, 4 of which never completed even half the season). For those players I left them in the free agent pool until they played for one of the "big 8". If they only played one season as many did, I changed their age to 41 and for the most part they retired the next season(I did this when teams disbanded too). A few times I drafted a pitcher so I could at least have 2 man rotations on each team, but position players would sit out.
