I don't know how to do those fancy-dancy charts that you people do, but my spidey sense tells me that I may have stumbled upon something pretty good. I'd love for someone to try this against the charts:

RATINGS: 20%
CURRENT YEAR: 40%
PREVIOUS YEAR: 40%
2 YEARS AGO: 0%

Sabermetric Lineups

BATTER AGING: .500
BATTER DEV: .875
PITCHER AGING: .750
PITCHER DEV: .750

INJURIES: OOTP Classic

I've run a test career with these settings for ~200 years, giving me a chance to look over a lot of players who flamed out in their late 20s, and guys who lasted to their 40s. It "seems" like a good balance.

On Opening Day 2206, average age of batters in the majors is 28.8. Average age of pitchers is 29.3.
