Cesser is correct. I'm in my 20th year of a historical sim and I've never adjusted the points - I've always left them at the default value. And when I run spring training and look at the notes, I always see a few players whose attributes have dropped. Interestingly, the players whose attributes have improved seem to outnumber those who have dropped by maybe a 10-to-1 ratio...

I could see where letting the coaches decide might be the better way to go because it seem like common sense that, for example, a strikeout-prone shortstop would work on making contact in spring training, or an quick-to-tire pitcher would work on building endurance. But, OTOH, I've had pretty good success with my historical sim and am happy with how things have turned out. (Then again, I cheat: If I see someone like Harmon Killebrew fading to a .220/15 HR player in his late twenties - I give him a boost!)
