What I didn't consider is the fact that if you add enormous talent from the Negro Leagues into a 16-team league it drastically raises the amount of very good big league players.

So now it will be interesting to see how the league develops once we're past the color barrier
In my ABF league Ruth has close to 1100 HR and Gibson had 620. Ruth didn't even turn into a hitter full time until age 31.
