A couple pedantic questions:

1) There are only 13 pitching spots. I assume we're not allowed to draft over that amount? For example, if I already have 12 pitchers, can I draft a pitcher in the 8th round and then only use one of them? Or is that an illegal pick?

2) This one seems much less likely to be an issue, but if a player has less than 5 eligible seasons, does that make them ineligible for the 5th round (and same for 4, 3, 2, etc.)? Or do you fill in with $200k players? Ex.: Bill Kenworthy has 2 seasons, can he only be drafted in the 1st, 2nd, 8th, or 9th round?

Pedantic is an insulting word used to describe someone who annoys others by caring too much about minor details seemed fitting here, lol

No loopholes

1) You are right about only 13 roster spots being available for pitchers. Of course, if you picked Babe Ruth in a multiple-season round you could have split the seasons between hitting and pitching. Your roster as drafted has to fit somehow.

2) No 200k exception for players that do not fit the rules. If a player only has 2 available years, he cannot be taken in a round which requires 3 or more different seasons.
