The problem is with the default settings (both aging modifiers at 1.000) it is way too easy to set up a contending team for years with only paying league minimum salary. I had the Astros dominating one of my solo leagues with no players older than 28. That is just not what I want because it is absolutely no fun if you have a contending team without having to manage the payroll.
