Since it appears that Random is one of the most popular fillers in the whatifsports world, here's my first try on a league

100 million cap
no DH
no Clones
no Trades
no Waiver Wire
below average AAA
50 games live, playoffs to be played live
1901-2010

Select a franchise at startup, a franchise can be selected twice and then will be scratched

once the franchise is selected you have the choice of even or odd seasons, once the franchise has been selected once, you do not have the choice of even or odds as you'll get the opposite of what was selected.

using random.org I will generate 25 seasons in which you will select your players from, only 1 player can be selected for each given season

as an Example your a Yankee fan, you take the Bombers and select Odd seasons, I then go to random.org and generate your numbers which end up being this

Here are your random numbers:

1985,1939,1917,1977,2005,2001,1907,1959,1919,1961,1987,1917,1967,1987,1917,1961,1919,1981,2005,1965,1939,1953
1923,1997,1935

so out of these 25 season's a team of 25 players be created, its a long process of the manager(you) to decide which player for which season you'll want, would you want to use the 2 1961 seasons to select Mantle n Maris or would you need to use that selection on Whitey Ford,Ralph Terry or Luis Arroyo.1977 would be a good chance to grab Reggie Jackson who's your favorite player but you really need Ron Guidry's pitching,  A lot of options but you must decide on what best suits your style of play.

As a direct result of history being on the side of the teams that have been around since the 90's expansion franchises will be paired together Florida and Tampa will be one team, and Arizona and Colorado will be one team and will not use the odd or even. They may only be used once.

These teams will also not use the odd's and even Rangers,Angels,Mets,Astros,Nationals,Padres,Brewers,Royals,Blue Jays and Mariners in order to compete with the team's that have 50 + yrs of history more than them, thus evening the odds. these team's also will only be used once

divisions will be aligned based on owner teams being separated,park factor being close to neutral for division in a 24 team league

I will join I will take the Braves even Years

awesome braveboy thanks for joining, here sir are your 25 random numbers spanning from 1902 to 2010 Atlanta Braves Even Seasons

1928 1918 1958 1952 1950
1996 1954 1908 1942 1980
1976 1972 1994 1998 1922
1938 1982 2002 1950 1960
1992 2008 1980 2004 1920

The Braves are a tricky franchise as its a team that has jumped around from city to city since it was established, a good reference is baseball reference.com to look up the city or team name when hunting down these yrs.
You may choose any stadium that the Braves used out of the yrs that were generated for you, remember only one player per season unless a dublicate season was generated

Odd Dodgers

'28 is the Sisler/Hornsby year.  May not be able to afford Hornsby at this cap, though...

joshkvt odd dodger seasons

1919 1901 2007 1929 1967
1987 1965 1905 1915 1911

1967 1925 1937 1955 1917
1935 1959 1989 1989 1959

thanks for joining, dodgers are similar to the braves in that they jump around team name to team name so baseball reference would be a good source if your having a hard time finding the correct team name, I really appreciate you signing on, that gives us 2 very good simleague live guys, great foundation

its not intended to be a allstar league, more like a real team where you have 1-5 stars, some good to great high quality guys and a few guys you hope the game doesn't hinge on there success. its up to you as the manager to decide what best fits your strengths.

I'll take Red Sox, EVEN years.

beauty, another hall of famer. here sir are your random even red sox seasons

1950 1980 1982 1974 1938
2000 1910 1906 1910 1928
1962 1978 1936 2002 1992
1944 1942 1972 1940 1990
1990 1908 1968 1970 1946

at first glance it looks like you might of hit a jackpot here with some of these seasons, going to be difficult to sift thru how to fit it into a 100 million cap.
other than 1906 they've been called the Boston Red Sox, Boston Americans in 1906
thanks for joining steveymer

who's next and up for the challenge of trying to mix and match seasons to fit a winning squad

Red Sox odd please

1999 1941 1977 1915 1933
