Not sure if this has been addressed but it's plagued this otherwise great series in all its incarnations. Basically the example is this: asymmetry in player ratings usually means they will overperform, and symmetry means they underperform.
For example, there's a player in my current league who is a 10 average and an 11 in HR, but he continually underperforms players who are at like 5 av and 8 hr, and his stats are usually on par with players far, far below his caliber. The nearest I can figure, the two stats (for power and av, in this case) are sort of competing with one another. I recall this being a problem when we were working on a baseball simulation a long, long time ago.
This happens over and over and over again. I've simmed something like 500 years of ootp, and it's probably the thing that makes me craziest. Are there any fixes for it? Anyone even notice this at all except for me? Gimme a sign.

2nd - I think the hall of fame should really be able to admit any field that the player season stats are sorted by. The old standbys for the HoF in rl baseball aren't the best filters for quality OO players. I'd prefer to have the lifetime .900 ops, for instance, instead of a .280 average, or a lifetime .400 obp and lifetime .500 slg. Something that gives the stat freaks out there their due.
Thanks for listening, and thanks for the best baseball sim ever made.
