...So I'm at the All-Star game in 1960 in my game now. Questions for anybody out there that knows...With expansion coming up (most likely early in the offseason of 1960/1961 in order for the Angels and the Senators [Texas Rangers version] to get some damn players onto their rosters), will the AI give me enough players for 18 teams or 16 teams? I use a five round amateur draft, which has served me quite well so far with unlimited reserve rosters, so the difference would be 10 players (90 with 18 teams rather than 80 with 16 teams), which would make it about a four and a half round draft if I'm short that many. How many rounds in the expansion draft? 25? 30? 40? What should I set "Limit of Picks from a single Team" to? A certain amount of picks, or No Limit? If I think of anything else (or whoever answers does) I'll ask as well. Thanks for your response(s) in advance.

EDIT: I've got a protected players number of 15 and I have it set to auto-protect all players with less than three pro service years? Any suggestions on that? Not enough protected? Too many? etc, etc, etc.
