Trying to relist rules, though my main focus is the question regarding ALLOWED players for the NL League and how to proceed.
Ok, here's how it's gonna go:
For this NL League's purposes, the only Rosters that matter are the NL League's Rosters.
1-The players on the various NL Team Rosters are Exclusive Property of that team when setting up your Autodraft.
2-The players on the 3 Rotated Out (or dormant) teams are available to be placed on your Autodraft card IF they played for your team at some point. Any player not on an NL Roster who played for your team can be added to your Autodraft Card.
3-You may use ONE High Dollar Player, either High Dollar Players indicated on your Roster, or ANY eligible Player over the 6.5 or 3.5 limits in the Player Pool who played for your team. Place a High Dollar player on your Autodraft card if he belongs to your Team's Roster, or he is not on your Roster but is on a Dormant Team, or he is on No Team's NL Roster (Jim Thome could be grabbed as the Phillies or Dodgers High Dollar player during the Autodraft because he is on NO NL Roster.) ANY player who played for your team has the option to be your High Dollar Card after the Autodraft runs.
4-NL ALLOWED players are only ALLOWED for the NL League. AL ALLOWED players are only ALLOWED in the AL League. Place an NL ALLOWED player on your Autodraft card if he belongs to your Team's Roster, or if he is not on your NL Roster but is on a NL Dormant Team. ANY NL ALLOWED player who played for your team has the option to be added to your Team after the Autodraft runs.
5-NL ALLOWED players are NOT ALLOWED players for the AL League. AL ALLOWED players are NOT ALLOWED players for the NL League. FOLLOW the NL LEAGUE'S ROSTERS, it does not matter who is ALLOWED in the AL.
Some examples:
--So, David Cone's 6.84m card is ALLOWED for the Royals in the AL League. He played for the Mets, but his 6.84m card is NOT an ALLOWED player for the Mets in the NL League. He could be the Mets High Dollar Option, but he cannot be an ALLOWED player.
--Gary Sheffield' 7.57m card is ALLOWED by the Marlins in the NL League. He played for the Yankees, Brewers, and Tigers, but his 7.57m card is NOT an ALLOWED player for the Yankees, Tigers, or Brewers in the AL League. He could be a High Dollar Option for the Yankees, Tigers, or Brewers, but he cannot be an ALLOWED player.
--Miguel Cabrera's 6.67m card is an ALLOWED player in Both Leagues because he is ALLOWED by the Marlins in the NL and the Tigers in the AL.
--Gary Sheffield is ALLOWED by the Marlins in the NL League, and also played for the Padres, Dodgers, Braves, and Mets. Since he is ALLOWED in the NL League, he could be an ALLOWED player for the Dodgers, Padres, Braves, or Mets, provided the Marlins are either rotated out, or the Marlins manager didn't Autodraft him.
I don't believe this will be too difficult, this is how I followed the rosters in setting up my teams. Just remember that For this NL League's purposes, the only Roster that matters is the NL League's Roster. I had the Dodgers, meaning I could have Don Sutton's cheaper cards, but his 7.48 card was not an ALLOWED option for my Dodgers, despite him being an ALLOWED player for the Brewers in the AL. He could be my High Dollar Option for the Dodgers.
Sorry for any possible confusion. Remember, For this NL League's purposes, the only Rosters that matter are the NL League's Rosters.
If you need to, pull your team out to make any adjustments.
