Eiskrap used PA appearances and IP to show the entire age distribution was very well off regardless so I really do not know what else to really to tell you, but to each their own I guess.

It doesn't matter if you get the top players in any particular category right. If the rest of the players in the league don't match the raw real life age distribution of the year or series of years desired then the league will not be right. I'm not being sarcastic but I don't know how to explain it more clearly. Once you get the raw age distribution right then if category leaders don't match real life results you have a legitimate beef about the talent distribution and modifiers. It is a chicken and egg situation.
It's also important to note that real life baseball age distribution is undergoing a massive shift due to an injection of cheap high end talent and the end of rampant steroid use. We could see the peak age for players move from almost 27 to 24-25 by the end of next year. That is a huge change.
