I thought I understood how this worked, but after seeing the draft pool for the first time I'm confused. If you're playing a fictional league with real players, the draft pool for the next season is drawn from real-life rookies who debuted the following season (if you're using the Lahman database). Is that correct? I just finished the 2001 season and in the draft pool for the '02 season I don't recognize any of the players. I would have expected Prior and Mauer to be in that pool but I don't see them. I have the "Automatically Import Historical Rookies" checked.
