I agree with LMBombers. Everyone must autodraft the three (or two) free agents they picked in the livedraft. If you are in budget trouble, just leave one of your exclusive franchise players off your autodraft, and pick him up in waivers or after waivers. During the pre-season you can dump or pick up franchise players and un-attached free agents, as long as you do not has more than three free agents at any time.
For example, I am doubting whether I am going to keep Todd Helton for Opening Day (trade bait?). I might end up dropping him for a less expensive free agent. However, I need to put him on my autodraft. To free up the cash for the autodraft, I might leave Johan Santana off my autodraft, and pick him up in the pre-season.
