I played five years and got no fictional players on the leader boards to speak of, with the settings above. SteveP is right about speed/defense ...
I'm giving up the game for a while though. I think the WS is rigged and it's taking all the fun out of it. I made the WS four times in five years and lost every one ... Bob Gibson and Sandy Koufax combining to go 1-5 with ERAs in the low 8.00s over the past two WS (1964/65) despite winning almost 90 games in the regular seasons. Dick Radatz, my closer, had an 0.96 ERA in the regular season and blew three saves in the WS (ERA over 10) ... final game (as it turned out) ... ninth inning bloop singles to the 8 hitter and a PH w/ a Mendoza-line average, then a three run homer and I lose by one?
I just can't bring myself to play through another year, put in all the hours, just to see the game decide I have to lose. Not worth the frustration.
I'll go play Civ IV for a couple months ...
