I just put my team in, and there's a potential issue that I think needs to be cleared up before the AutoDraft. When SOM put the 2007-14 set together they set the players up like the regular ATG set so that only one team can have each player. If someone gets the 2012 Mike Trout for example, it locks out the other Trout cards from being picked up.
However, there are a few players where the link is not done correctly. The most blatant example I've see is Roy Halladay. His 2007 and 2008 cards are linked, and then the 2009-13 cards are all linked. The result is that it's possible for Halladay to be on two different teams at the same time.
The most obvious way to deal with this might be that the team with the highest salaried version of the player would get him. Or we could have teams produce their AutoDraft lists and give him to the team that had him ranked higher. But however we want to handle it, we must come to a decision before the AutoDraft.
The only other players I know of off hand that are also like this are LaTroy Hawkins and Josh Thole, but I'm sure there are more.
+++ UPDATE +++
Paul Byrd: 2007-08 and 2009
Roy Halladay: 2007-08 and 2009-2013
LaTroy Hawkins: 2007-08 and 2009-2014
Mariano Rivera: 2007-08 and 2009-2013
Tim Wakefield: 2007-08 and 2009-2011
Josh Thole is fine. I'll update this list as I come across more.
