For #1 you take two, 200k players and then swap them out for pick-your own AAA players with the Mets' names.
You can do the same with any non-sim players you find in your box scores. For example, the Yankees in that #2 game started Tim McIntosh at 1B and Dutch legend Robert Eenhorn at 2B ... so you could take two more 200k players for them, if you wanted.
The max number of AAA players is actually ten ... six position players [that's the minimum I could select] and four pitchers. So, yes, you could take both Mets as pitchers.
I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't let all of the AAA players [even the randomly generated ones] participate here, so that the advantage of having non-sim players isn't so great. [It's still an advantage to pick your own, but the random guys might contribute something.]
Thanks for the responses. I've got my head around it now.
As for the AAA players, in my experience, the more AAA players allowed, the more people tend to skimp on their bench as they know the AAA guys will be better than the 200K-500K bench guys. It seems odd to have to take 25 players and then only use 15 of them (kinda goes against the theme in my mind, but I'm the NOOB to the league and I don't want to make waves). We all get 1 AAA player already, so it seems to me that we should try to use as many of the 24 other real players as possible.
I find it odd that you have to go 6/4 as in my "draft your own AAA' in my progressives lets me do 3/2 for my league. I see no reason why you couldn't do 4/4. In my mind, assuming the average AAA player is a $1.5-$2.5 million player, a team using 6 or more would have a cap advantage over a team using 1-2.
