However, "sample size" is a frequent response that I have read in these forums. The game is designed to give realistic results on average, over time.

It sounds from your post like you are basing your assessment on only a small portion of the season. I think if you play out the whole season, such aberrations that you described (which do occur in real life to the best players) will have evened out and the players you described will have performed close to how they did in reality.

But not exactly, not consistently all the time (which would be boring), and not necessarily for every player. There is a factor of randomness in this game which is either designed or tolerated according to your viewpoint.
Hi!

Thanks for your answer ... In my phantasy game I played until 15th June (Pitchers ERA was about 6.50 on average). But at least my offense was sound there.

In my Twins game I'm not that far as you saw already. I just wondered about some things like Jason Tyner Home Run Power 1, while guys who hit 3 homers in 500 AB's have Home Run Power 52 ...

I saw those option when I set up the historical leagues, but wasn't sure which to take (when I started I just wanted to "try", and not end my phantasy game).

I fear I took the wrong option

Francisco Liriano is 22 now and has 94/69/63, while his potential is the same ...

Does this mean all my players will stay on the level they have now, and never improove?
