What seems to be happening is that if one of these years coincides with a recalc year (every year, if set to yearly recalc), then their ratings are affected. I suspect also that the 'adjust for less than 200 ABs, weaken for less than 50 at bats' from the import setup may be applying on recalc, so that severely injury hit years see the player nerfed entirely: so much so that he is then cut and retires at about the same time as IRL, despite the way in which recalc in the absence of stats is supposed to work.

so recalc is functioning the way it should... I mean, those that use recalc want results similar to real life and they get that. When players are injured or ineffective, recalc accurately models that. To prevent this, either turn recalc off or modify the database removing injury-shortened seasons.
