Also there are tons of quickstarts and templates out there -- I've released a few too -- where you can just jump into a league that already has a history and things going on, so you can just play.

Thank you very much for this post, that's very kind of you.
Something I didn't reveal in this thread is the fact that I am currently playing stats only...I like it but I also like to play with ratings, too. I tend to flip back and forth but prefer the stats only way to play and it has nothing to do with what a real GM does or not......it has to do with what someone finds as being fun. Most of us here probably grew up looking over the MLB statistics pages in the newspaper and reading the Street and Smith, Bill Mazeroski yearbooks and the Bill James Baseball Abstracts. We love our stats.
I like to challenge all ideas and get suggestions to find what most consider to be the best way to play this game whether that be with rating on or off and the settings people use when playing these games.
