To piggyback on Fyrestorm, actually it isn't a simulator based on real stats, at least not exclusively. In a 2013 MLB game, there are no "real stats" from which to simulate, since the season hasn't happened yet. So, ratings are devised based on past performance, a player development engine is developed to make the players progress/decline realistically, and an outcomes engine is developed to get league totals close to where they are in reality.
Once you start a 2013 game, it's all fictional from there. Even if a good player in RL takes a nosedive.
(Now, a historical game can be different, depending on settings. There, a player is often, though not always, expected to produce similarly to what he did in reality, since there is a hard-and-fast record of what he did).
