In 1988 he had a CEI and retired with a .335 average and 174 home runs and 280 doubles.

That's pretty much what happened in real life, except he kept playing through it...what was your ratings recalc set to? Maybe the replay Donnie Baseball decided he didn't want to play at a level lower than that he was used to. I always thought it was interesting that Mattingly applied himself so much to become a great player that his back gave out while Gooden and Strawberry were born with such great talent and their bodies gave out because they didn't respect it enough.
