The rule implies that any player who has an eligible year in a decade that is KO Exempt, cannot be KO'd.
This will substantially reduces the KO player pool for decades that are neighbouring an exempt decade (Hitting: 1880's 1890's 1920's 1930's 1960's 2000's | Pitching: 1880's, 1900's, 1910's, 1960's, 2000's), so in response to that, we could:
1. Keep things as they are and make the rules post clear about who can and cannot be KO'd
2. Reduce the number of KO's per person ... and let the market decide (to reflect the smaller than intended KOable player pool).
3. Amend the KO rule to specify that when you KO a player, you are only KOing his non-exempt years ... the player can still be selected in an exempt decade. For example, if someone KO'd Frank Robinson, he could no longer be selected in the 1960's or 1970's, but would still be eligible to be drafted in the 1950's (Feral's suggestion).
I think all options have their merits. Any other ideas?
