OK. Last check, Eiskrap.

RATINGS: 80%
CURRENT YEAR: 15%
PREVIOUS YEAR: 4%
2 YEARS AGO: 1%

Sabermetric Lineups

BATTER AGING: .250
BATTER DEV: 1.000
PITCHER AGING: .375
PITCHER DEV: .875

INJURIES: OOTP Classic
TALENT CHANGE RANDOMNESS: 67

On Opening Day 2171, average age of players in the majors is 28.6.

I went to a much heavier ratings-based evaluation because I noticed that the AI teams were leaving solid players in their mid to late 20s sitting in FA all year, presumably because they had never cracked the starting lineup and therefore had no stats. I'm talking guys rated 60-50-60 who were solid fielders, but had either been in the minors or blocked by a star in the majors, so they didn't have stats. And really, this is the way that I prefer the AI to play when I'm actually simming out a career. Given that *I* am gonna sit a guy who had a .850 OPS last year but dropped 20 points in all three categories in the offseason, I want the AI to have that same advantage. I can sacrifice some realism there.
