That means that, as soon as 12 people have signed up, a randomizer is run to set a team draft order from 1 to 12. Then, each owner drafts one major league franchise. So, let's say the first person drafts the Orioles, the second person drafts the Angels, the 3rd person drafts the White Sox, etc.
Next, we have a 4 round free agent draft on the boards. Since the White Sox have the lowest team salary (28.03 mil), they have the first pick in each round of the free agent draft. The Angels (team salary 29.25) have the second pick in each round and the Orioles with the highest team salary pick last in each round of the free agent draft.
The Angels must open the season with a roster that includes Ryan, Tannana, Aikens, McMullen, Repoz, and Chalk. The rest of their team will be made up of free agents that have at least one year on the Angels from the 70s on their Strat card.
The Angels are kind of an intriguing team since their eligible free agents include Bonds, F Robinson, B Singer, Messersmith, Epstein, R May, Figeroa, Baylor, Bochte, and many lower-priced free agents that have at least one carded year for the Angels in the 70s.
