Props to Egnaro for even asking an important question.

Admittedly I've never played a $999 league (rarely play above $80, mostly below that), but I thought the whole reason to have a $999 league is anything goes. At least that's what I would do if I were to ever join one, why let all that $$ sit there?? :?:

Which is why we have been preferring $250M, so that anything doesn't "go." In the live draft that took place this Friday I have a number of guys whose cards can be switched out at will depending on matchups. I plan to forego the pleasure unless others start "switching cards", and then Mays, Hornsby, Manny, Dimaggio, Greenberg, Berkman,Billy Wagner and Marichal will have their stats split up over multiple cards, just out of self-defense. But it is just one step further removed from a realistic baseball simulation when you switch a player's season cards multiple times during the same season and feels like gaming the game to me. It is certainly not illegal, not even unethical but I suspect that most managers who do the Friday night live drafts view things as I do and prefer not to have to deal with this issue. Prior to the Milter intrusion, 999M was the norm, now it vacillates between $250M and 999M, depending on who creates the league.

We've been using 250 mill precisely so that a person can't switch a player on a daily basis-

its not clear about an injury situation, think most folks do switch out say Josh Gibson for example, but I'm always worried that Ill forget to switch him back so try and avoid doing that.
