Yes it will be interesting to see how the pitcher usage patterns play out.
After setting up the league I am finding I need to go through each teams roster and set the rotations and lineups based on historical usage. I am also setting each teams strategy to mirror their reality at the time (the defaults did not necessarily reflect this after I did the import). The other factor beside pitcher usage is where the at bats will come from when the DH is used for teams that didn't play during the DH era.
I am 80% done with the set up and will start playing the simulation this weekend. The last bit I am struggling with is injuries. I have this set on the lowest setting right now with a 5 day DL. I had originally wanted to keep it off but want to force some irregularity in the lineups for variety. I may start the league with injuries but if I am seeing a rash of long-term injuries I will shut it off (which I think I can do mid-season).
