To get your Initial team, Load your teams roster from 1981, if a player appears on more than one team in 1981, all those teams get to use him for his entire career, as IPs and ABs may get tight, and I don't want to limit anyone to start off with. That will be the only clones for this league.

So this means I can start him in his rookie year of 1974???

Not sure who you're talking about, but no. It should say "the entire remainder of his career". Meaning you don't lose him down the road, even if he plays for other teams. You get players from 1981 onward.

Do we post a new keepers list that shows our cuts when we have our roster set up. As of right now I have 26 players on my roster.

Yes, once we are full everyone will submit their "Keepers" and "Cuts" lists, You may cut to, no lower than, 20 players and draft a maximum of 5 from the remaining 6 teams, if you think you can do better.

***Remember, in 1981, and only in 1981, if he has a WiS Eligible Season for your club, you get him for his full career, even if he is on multiple rosters, as stated in the rules. So there will be a few clones for a bit, but none after that.

From page 1..."First Year Draft Order (by wins totals from 80-84) First year draft will be 5 rounds, or until you either don’t want anyone else or can’t fit any more.:

When did this change?

Never changed, always been in the rules.
That means you can draft less than 5, not more, thats all. You can draft up to 5, but can less if you don't want anyone else or cant fit them in.

This is a tough choice, I have little pitching with the Braves to start, and could really use Smoltz, but only get him for 7 seasons before he comes to Braves as a rookie, on the other hand, Chipper Jones brings a big bat and id get him for 14 seasons before he becomes a rookie, but I have 3B already occupied by one of the best players I start with (Horner)

So I guess i'll go with team need over want, SMOLTZ starting in his 91 season.
