Since there were two clubs sharing one overall schedule, you could say they were two sides of the same coin. So, combine the Richmond roster with the Washington roster by assigning Richmond's players to Washington, and the original 1884 AA schedule can be used.
The 1884 UA is similar. It started the season as an 8-team league. Following the same combining philosophy, you'd combine the following teams' rosters: - assign Kansas City's players to Altoona
- assign Wilmington's and St. Paul's players to Philadelphia
- assign Milwaukee's players to Chicago/Pittsburgh
For the 1890 AA, assign Baltimore's players to Brooklyn; for the 1891 AA, assign Milwaukee's players to Cincinnati.
for the 1871-1875 National Association seasons combining won't really work since there wasn't the same kind of direct dropping out and replacement as there was in later years. |
Yeah thats a good idea but i dont wanna add more teams unless absolutely neccassry. I want to have the players automatically import to their real teams. So i figure i would just leave the extra team players as free agents.
That way i can play with trades off and have the free agents sit out a year
or i can let computer sign them. Easier than having to remove them from teams if i wanna keep the rosters like they were in real life.
I plan on playing strictly as history happened with real trades. I would like to have injuries but no CEI.
I also plan on playing a league with finances and trades etc on as well.
