I guess it depends on how current you want them to be. I mean, you could get the current rosters online, go into commissioner mode and force trades and DL time until they were right, but it may not make any sense with how teams are actually doing in your game.

For example, in your league Ubaldo Jimenez might be having the worst year in his career, so if, in the real world, on June 30th the Cardinals traded Pujols for him (along with a few minor leaguers both directions), would you want that trade in your game? If you were managing the Padres and in your game Eckstein were leading the league in hitting, but in real life he went on the DL with a broken leg, would you want to cripple your team just to reflect the real world rosters?
