After simming a fictional 1880s league for 3 years, I have come to recognize that it would really be ideal to make error rates an era variable. Players in my shorter seasons are not getting the kinds of stats that they got in real life, because there are not as many at bats - because there are not as many errors. Cap Anson, who would sometimes drive home 100 runs in little over 100 games, would also make 70 errors a season. if the 1B makes that many errors, think about how many the whole infield is making. This translates into many more batters and many, many more runs.

I think we all can agree that resetting the fielding pct of every player - even in a 1-league, 8-team org like I currently have, is not feasible. So, hopefully at least for v5 if not an upcoming patch, this can be considered.
