Throw me a bone - who would those be?

Many years ago we played the Top 12 Teams of 1969 (without a 5-man draft). Here are the results.

Also can look at RS/RA Difference in actual standings for 1969 at following link to get an idea:

https://www.espn.com/mlb/history/season/_/year/1969

1. FrankM - Baltimore O's
2. Palmtana - San Francisco
3. paul_long71 - Minnesota
4.ycbill - Boston
5. LMBombers - Pittsburgh
6. Krazykat - New York Mets
7. Ehlekev - Atlanta Braves
8. Rolandzeut - Cin. Reds
9. Delbird - Detroit Tigers
10. Geoff Brookes Montreal Expos
11. CrustyCrab53 - Washington Senators
12.Musial6 - Chicago Cubs

Bet you all thought I would pick the Cardinals. With the 12th pick, very slim chance of winning - so the next best thing to the Redbirds winning is the Cubs losing.

With the first pick in the 1969 free agent draft the Chicago Cubs select...............
Mr October.........Reggie Jackson

1. Musial6 - Reggie Jackson
2. CrustyCrab - Andy Messersmith
3. Geoff Brookes -
4.

So we have to use at least 20 (or everyone if your roster has less players than 20) players from your roster and can use up to 5 drafted players?

The game allows us to have only 24 players on the roster. Is this allowed in this league or must every team have 25 players (or more)? If we can have only 24 man roster do we still need 20 franchise players and use only 4 draft picks??

Remember the minimums: 4 pure RP, 2 primary Catchers, 10 total pitchers, 13 total hitters. Also 80M max team salary.
Draft your free agents accordingly.

I wonder if *SP's will be allowed to pitch every three days or if that is no longer the case like in the 20XX game.
Is anyone playing in a current 1969 league?

They can pitch on 3-day rest. I'm in a '69 league currently
