I don't have definitive answers on the A/W since I play with historical minors off or an RD which excludes them. But with development on and recalc off, any one of the minor league kids in Brad's save could develop into the next Roger Clemens and Roger could fade. They are just potential advancing through the engine. Development-only knows not and cares not for the name. So, this statement of his "I don't see that having development on is an adequate explanation. Development should not turn this guy into a superstar." confuses me. Anyone can hit and anyone can miss absent recalc.
Reed, I'll post something tomorrow on the MLEs.

My issue with Murakami may not be an issue in OOTP26 if the new feature Matt talks about in the OOTP26 forum, OOTP 26 Announced thread, post 94 works as he says it will. He says players will no longer get recalc'd when their recalc years are complete. At that point the game will switch to strictly development. Very interested to hear how this works when 26 is released. I have no problem with Murakami being a stud, but right now, I fear any negative development he is subject to during a season, might very well get wiped out by recalc during the offseason. Again, look at Boyett's 3 really good season. They have a that Groundhog day look to them.
