Good point. I guess it depends on how far into the league he is and whether he's using fictional players or not.

Using fictional players and keeping the CL ratings I had a bunch of guys after 50-100 years who ended up with 600 saves easily (I've seen guys with more than 700). Changing CL to MR and SP when they enter the ammy draft (and at the initial draft) tends to lower the totals back to reality and 400 saves starts becoming tough to hit since a guy needs to be a relief ace for a long time to pull that.

It also depends on your seasonal save totals too. If 40-50 saves is normal in this league, then I'd stick with 600 as an auto qualifier. That's 15 seasons of 40 saves. By comparison, a starter needs 15 seasons of 20 wins to be an automatic pick, and a hitter needs 15 seasons of 33.3 homeruns or 200 hits. Everything is relative to your league of course (I normally auto induct based on 450 homeruns, 3000 hits, 450 saves, and 250 wins - but that works because of the way my league is setup). I usually take a typical league leading-type season in a stat, multiply by 15, and use that as an auto-entry.
