Oh, just to add to my above post.

With the Pitcher Development settings (.375, .875) that was originally proposed. I find that yes, there are probably too many old pitchers (in their mid to late 30s) that are good, but those are mostly relievers. Look at the starters and you'll find that there aren't that many really good 33+ year old starters in the league. Relievers you'll find good to elite 36-40+ year olds.

I don't know if that reflects real life or not. Do a lot of relievers sustain their ability into their late 30s in real life?
