Just wish there was a way for OOTP to disregard a couple real life injury seasons when performing recalc. That way a guy like Chris Carpenter doesn't go from Cy Young winner to the bottom of his teams bullpen one season to the next. Or Hank Greenberg doesn't hit 40 bombs and end up a pinch hitter when 1941 arrives.
When you use recalc, you can adjust those default numbers for making bad. Greenberg's only problem, of course, is that he was drafted early in the season and would likely have been his usual devastating self if he had played the whole season. Cut the adjustment numbers to 50 AB and he'll be fine. I play with actual lineups, so I usually get rid of those adjustments entirely.
