Just for fun, I created a historical league starting in 1901. Using the OOTP development engine only, so no recalc. As soon as teams had enough players I set injuries to High(modern day). I have fatigue set to high. 14 man rosters and I have it set so teams have 5 starters with 1 pitcher in the bullpen. Starters can be used in relief.
I'm up to 1927. I'm really impressed with what I'm seeing overall. In fact, the combo of high fatigue and the modern day injury setting may be too much when recalc is off. Cobb may end up playing less games overall than he did in real life. He just passed Cap Anson to become the all time hits leader, but unless he gets blessed with the youth molecule, I figure he closes out his career with 3500 to 3600 hits.
I turned off two way players after the 1918 season, so Ruth would have a better chance of being Ruth. He crushed 65 home runs in the 1921 season and has a 61 homer season as well. Like Cobb, he's spent significant time on the IL
