What is the definition of an expansion team? I consider the Expos and Mariners and the like expansion teams. But not the Yankees.

Is it just guys who played post WW II? So, for instance, if selecting the Cavaliers, Shoeless Joe is ineligible?
But Albert Belle / Manny / Thome are eligible?

When I click on the ATG8 post WWII Cleveland roster it only lists guys who played in the 50s and early early 60s.

He means the exp teams: CLE-exp, NYY-exp, HOU-exp for example......
All teams from the exp era groupings

Is trading allowed as long as the end result cards selected are on the proper franchise ?

If a trade can be worked out where the players are legal for each team then I will say yes. Also I realized that I didn't designate having a DH or not. I will put this up for a vote for the participating players.

sorry to be a bother but I am confused about which cards are being used.

Is it all of the cards from ATG post WWII, or just the expansion cards from that group?

DH for me.

And also a question that I'm sure will come up. In the rules it states:
3) After the draft if you have any players that do not belong on your roster you will be expected to drop them and replace with available legal FA players.
4) After free agency starts here is where the twist comes in. You may select 1 FA Pitcher and 1 FA Hitter from all the available FA. This player does not have to be from your franchise they can be from any team...

Now the question:
If you're awarded a player in the AutoDraft that does not belong on your roster but you'd like to keep him as one of your designated FAs, do you have to go through the formality of dropping him and immediately picking him up? It would seem kind of silly. However...
To stop someone from putting a FA they want near the end of their draft list on purpose, you might want to specify that your draft list MUST contain only players carded to your team. It may have been implied but it's not stated, and someone may misunderstand.
