I really don't know what to think about this, except to offer a what if. What if free agency existed 50 or 60 years ago? What would guys like Ted Williams or Joe DiMaggio be asking for? I really thought about starting a real-player league with that premise in mind. After all, at one time in the late 1800s such a structure did exist, and that's how the reserve clause came into being. You guys are focusing upon fictional-player leagues, but I only use real players. It's gonna have to be addressed, as a few of us might want to move into the late 20th century and beyond in historical play. Now, actual salary figures do exist for the last ten years or so, as well as actual salary totals for the teams. I have to bring this up, as it has become obvious in the last decade or so that high payrolls do NOT guarantee pennants or WS titles. I love the irony in this.
