Yea different eras would have different career spans, primes, and distributions of players. TBH I'm not quite familar with how historical leagues work as I don't usually play them. My whole thing is taking an MLB modern day universe and keeping the same standards over the years as it progresses. I have no interest in my league fluctuating away from the current standards in the game etc.
The more I was thinking about it today one of the reasons we proably see more young starters in the game today is the rush to use some of these top prospects before they get unnecessary innings in the minors and risk injury etc. Ten years ago top pitching draft picks out of high school would usually spend at least a few years in the minors. Now and the Giants are probably the perfect example although several other teams do it too, they call these guys up after 2-3 years.
