I should add based on ratings that draft pick - Ballplayer Schilling - was worthy of his first round selection. I left everything at default and he was a guy with great minor league numbers in a short time period - although looking at his real-life stats in game he was given double credit because he played for two teams with limited info.

Here is his BBRef info plus the real-life stats showing in his OOTP page. I am a few years down the road as I simmed quickly through 1934 but he made the big leagues right away and has had a solid few seasons.

I think anyone wanting to try this would have to accept a lot of players with very unusual numbers compared to real life - or need to do a lot of draft class editing themselves. With reduced minor leagues (I doubt anyone would want the same number of fictional leagues as the late 1930s gave us for example) it would like be very easy to quickly edit a copy of the minor league players database and eliminate everyone without a real first name. That would address a lot, but certainly not all of these guys.

I also think you might want to mess with the modifiers as with the influx of these cup of coffee minor leaguers who get great ratings, combined with the addition of Negro League stars, there are not enough HR and other things to go around. Ruth never hit more than 40 (I looked now and the game was set to 3-year recalc) which I think was at least partly caused because there were always 3-4 other guys hitting 30-40 as well. Hack Wilson was one and a few other 'name guys' but also some Ballplayer type rookies and Turkey Stearns, Willie Wells and a few others.

The single season HR leader at this point was Mel Ott for his amazing triple crown winning 1930 seasons (.404,59,185)
