Find anyone with hits allowed totals that are quite low compared to their IP and unless their strike out totals are very high (yes, I know that's pretty vague), they will not consistently perform well. Their ratings will make their strike out totals match up, but not their HA.

Take Gaylord Perry in '74 or Jim Palmer, Hunter or Niekro in most any year and see how different they perform. They all seem to suffer from this problem.

For more examples, look at Sutton and Messersmith of the Dodgers and compare their '74 RL HA and K totals to your sim results and you'll see what I mean. Their K totals seem to turn out well (they should, if you check their ratings the K totals are good, but not the HA), but not their HA totals.
