What I do is start in 1871 with 4 teams and do a draft. Then I expand to 8 teams in 1876. Then expand to 12 teams in 1882. Then expand to 16 teams in 1892. By doing this you will have enough players for teams but I suggest keeping injuries off. I turn off the options to have the game handle expansion and teams moving cities during these seasons. When I get to opening day if 1900 I turn that on and after the world series all of the teams realign to where they should be in 1901 in the AL and NL. To do this you must have the correct franchise IDs for the teams in place and begin with 2 leagues.
