Also, again if recalc is on,players "forget" positions as they are moved around for the benefit of the team. Killebrew in the 60's and Rose in the 70's are great examples. One year they are an OK to good 3rd baseman and the next year they can only play left field, with no rating at 3rd base. I find this very annoying and, while it is what happened, it does not reflect the player's abilty but rather the team need. I would much prefer a gradual diminishing of their abilities unless they continued to play the postion in the game.

I agree with you 1000%. I don't like to play with recalc very often. This is one of the reasons. I make a trade for a player to play a certain position and then the next year he is only eligible to play a position that I have an all star already playing. On top of that I have absolute crap at the position I needed when I traded for him. So now I have to trade him away to get someone else at the position. Take Pete Rose as you said. After he quit playing 2B and moved to one of his many other positions, it would be great if he kept the 3B rating but had it lowered every succeding season that he didn't play 3B until it eventually went away.
