All I have to say is FINALLY!!!!!!!! I will post hard data tomorrow but numbers and just the overall feel of the game FINALLY seems real. The age distributions are matching up as good as they probably can be, and most of all there's guys having long careers in the MLB. Im not talking necessarily about hall of fame guys either, but more so guys who are pretty decent that grind it out for 12-13 years. At the same time theres also a balance of younger players. Guys are actually warranting their huge contracts somewhat too and even thats more realistic. For instance I saw several Pujols type players in their early 30s who were granted huge contracts as FAs. These guys rewarded those teams with 2-3 great years followed by hurting those teams the last 2-3 years by starting to drop off. Love realism.
I do anticipate there being a higher influx of HOFers mainly because of the original modern day players with their pre-existing stats but figure it will level off as more of those guys retire.
However, I am finally at peace now and have found settings, at least with OTTP13 that should work and allow me to continue playing.

I'm not sure these settings work for historical leagues very well. The reason being, when you import players each year, alot of the star players come in with high initial ratings. These young players (that could be anywhere between 18-24 years old) post up MVP/Cy Young numbers in their first year. So, I had to lower development speed down even more, just so that these young 18-24 year olds don't dominate my league as they have been.
