I also play with injuries and a salary cap to add to the challenge.

I'm doing the same kind of thing. fictional alternative MLB. 60 years history. I took over the worst team. 4 2nd and 3rd place finishes in history and the rest is 5th or lower. No championships or trips to the world series. Overbudget. Small market. Disloyal fans. No FA so all I have is trades and draft to build with. I'm hoping to build a contender within the next 5 years, or by 1968 so that when I expand the league we can start a "new chapter" in Detroit(my team).

Note to self: Princess Kenny was really off-putting.
