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.

I have 30 man reserve roster, but teams don't always keep 30. Sometimes I see them get down to around 24. Miggy is my first 3000 hits guy. He's now 42 years old and gosh I hope he hangs up the glove this year. Should have retired 2 years ago when he got his 3000th hit. Miggy was also my first guy to hit 400 home runs. He is now riding the pine with his fingers crossed that a 43 year old Prince Fielder doesn't take his home run crown. Prince seemed to get a second wind at 40 years of age. Even if he does pass him it won't be long before Mantle holds the crown. He's only 60 behind at the ripe ole age of 32
