This may be a dumb question, but could you give me the exact steps to:
1 - Create a league with a start date of 1910 that would allow me to import individual players (one at a time) from any year from 1910 to 2007 to any team I want (whether it be the team that player was actually on or any team I choose).
2 - Create a league with a pre-1900 start date that would allow me to import complete, intact teams where all the players are locked to that team (no trades or free agents allowed).
Thanks for your help!

1. Just create an historical league and set the starting date to 1910. Then once you have the league running, go to the free agents page. Along the bottom there is an option to import an historical player. You need his lahman player ID# for this. To get that number, open the "Master.csv" file and check the second column. For example Babe Ruth is ruthba01.
2. Same thing basically, create an historical league in the desired year. In league setup turn off trading and finances.
