Building on the HoF suggestions, and general retirement logic.

Suggestion: Make a user definable coefficient for "Do not retire players who are X% from certain lifetime achievements". This would only apply ONCE to a player which the AI would "normally" retire. After that one time "catch", the player simply may not be capable of achieving the stat, so you wouldnt want to keep forcing a player to play for 20 years who is stuck at 299 wins, if he isnt even ML caliber to get it any more. It could be setup similar to the HoF criteria, but for all players across the board. Example:
300 HR- 5%
400 HR-10%
500 HR-15%
3000 H-5%
300 W-5%
etc.
Reason: This would allow players to influence when players who are "too close" to a milestone, to get an automatic 1 time unretire.
Priority:High...why not, I am to post this idea.
