IIRC the average age in fictional leagues is still around 30 (when it should be 27). In general, players age way too slowly and then linger on a bit too long. The problem's not as bad with pitchers. That being said, SkyDog's adjustments help out a *lot* (though we still have the problem wherein all the ratings seem to age at more or less the same rate, whereas IRL contact hitting and speed tend to decline faster than power hitting, and patience very often continues to go up as a player gets older).

Relatively minor problems though IMO compared to the way leaderboards seem to be crammed year after year with 2B and LF.
