100%. It's for sure a sub-optimal exercise, which is part of why I do it. The particular enjoyment I get from OOTP is by putting myself in the shoes of GMs/managers/etc. in the era I'm playing and trying to experience the game the way they might have done so. To get there I do stuff like the above, focusing more on BA/HR/RBI for hitters in eras past, ERA and wins for pitchers, and so on. Totally understand that this is not how very many people play but, well, OOTP allows you to do a lot of things...
