Hey, thank YOU for the Spalding picture !

Here are some of my league setup parameters:

- 1 minor league (will add more once I get a few more players into the league...maybe in 1910 I will add AA)

- 25 man rosters - 30 man extended rosters - no "active" roster (or whatever its called). I wanted to play with smaller roster limits, but whenever I would set the rosters to less than 25, I would run into the sign and release problem every single time. Leaving it at 25 has seemed to stop that problem.

- 6 year minor league free agency. I think that is the default. I left it like that because I wasnt sure what it did. Now I see that anyone with 6 years service time and is in the minors can apply for free agency (at least I think thats how it works). 6 years is fine with me, but you could raise that too if you want.

- I have trades set to low and am still seeing alot. At low it seems about right to me. Leaving it at average seemed to me like there were too many trades

Really, Im not seeing any more releases than I normally do, unless its an old player looking for big money, and most guys that are free agents are in the 32-36+ year old range. I figure most guys hit the majors at probably 24 years old, so most players arent eligible for FA until they are 36 years old.
