Concerning Jeff's league, I think he shouldn't touch anything. The purpose of adjust/weaken is to not allow outlier ratings coming from stats where the sample size is not big enough to be reliable. Why would 200 ABs be reliable for a one year rating but reliability require 1000 ABs for a five year rating? There's no reason I can see for requiring more ABs It matters not a bit if a guy took 3 years or 5 years to get 200 ABs instead of doing it in one year.

It does matter in order to get good stat output from regular players, especially your better players. If your adjust/weaken setting is to low, It will water down the players above that setting. It will cause players stats to become more bunched toward league average. It also prevents someone with just 150 ABs IRL from becoming a full time player and leading your league in BA or HRs etc..
