Thanks to Mr.Watts for inspiring me to give random debut another go... I got a league going in v13, but for whatever reason it was always kind of a stepchild and I never really embraced it.
Just kicked one off starting in 1974 without any evolution on... I think 24 teams is a nice balance... Although league performance modifiers will kick in each year. Anyways, I think I'm pretty much running a similar setup to David. No minors, no free agency, 3 year recalc, player development on, etc...
I started out with 25 man active and a 20 man reserve, for no other reason than the inaugural draft was set at 45 rounds. What do you guys run your reserve roster size at long term? I was thinking that a 15 man should be sufficient.. but just looking for thoughts on the matter.
So far I'm enjoying myself... Landed a 19 year old Miggy Cabrera in the 2nd round... even if he's been a massive strikeout machine in the early going. A 24 year old Mickey Mantle will be patrolling CF for the Dodgers... Hank Aaron makes his debut as a 30 year old for the Padres... The man, the myth, the mullet, Dennis Eckersley is a 20 year old starter for San Fran... Curious to see how the recalc handles his transition to relief.
