Hall of Fame
To determine HOF players, this is what I've done:
First, I looked at the real life MLB and calculated the percentage of players in the HOF compared to how many players have played that position. In general that comes out to about 1.5%, but the number is higher for outfielders than for relievers. Then I ran a long-term simulation of my league and figured out the HOF level for each position based on both JAWS and raw WAR. I then use a combination of the long-term levels as well as the percentage of players at each position to determine which players should get elected.
Those limits are somewhere around 30-35 JAWS for batters and relievers and 50 JAWS for starting pitchers.
I'm also using this workaround so that all players have a team (no Free Agents in the Hall of Fame): Actions, Unretire Player. Then Editor, Select New Team - League MLB, Set really any team, it doesn't matter if they show up initially in a minor league uniform. Then go back and retire the player and they will show up in their top team's uniform. I also like to go into the history tab and delete the history of what I just did. This is basically just like having a player sign a one day contract with a team before retiring.
