I’m in Spring Training of my 1946 St. Louis Browns historical league. There are a handful of players who played for the Browns in 1945 who didn’t return in 1946 that I would like to invite to camp: Milt Byrnes, Gene Moore, Pete Gray (the one-armed left fielder), Red Hayworth, and Ellis Clary. Most of these players went to the minor leagues, coached, or retired.
Where will their stats come from if they make the team? I am using player development and I’m using the following settings:
Retire players according to history is disabled
Players miss seasons accord to history is disabled
Player Ratings
Recalc player ratings based on real stats after each year
Ratings recalculation base 3 years
Should I change the recalc settings? What is my best option to maintain somewhat realistic stats for these unretired players and players who don’t retire according to history? My expectation is I might get one or two useful bench or reserve roster years out of one of these players.
EDIT: I found my answer on another thread:
