Ah, yes, I meant to squeeze that in to one of those early season posts.
1979.
Which probably somewhat explains the pretty middle of the road stats projected for the best hitters and pitchers in the WPK this season. Though those HR totals for some of the best sluggers (like Joe Brodeur) look a bit low compared to the likes of Dave Kingman, Mike Schmidt, and Gorman Thomas in MLB in 1979.
I should probably say that up to now I have not used the auto-calc modifiers option prior to any season, other than 1968- and I must not have done it right that time as it just reverted my stats back to MLB 1968 levels, which wasn't my intention. So far everything seems to be working out pretty well without that and I don't mind if the statistical modifiers interact in such a way with the current talent pool to create a statistical reality that is influenced by IRL MLB stats of a particular season but with some unpredictable variation as well. Should things start to get out of hand in the WPK I'll re-visit the auto-calc modifier thingy, but at this point I'm happy with how the league is evolving.
