Vg, those numbers are bad. Really bad. Glad you bring it up. I definitely share your concern. We'll certainly discuss that.

I will say that unless you have some data that says otherwise, I doubt the arm requirement is the issue, it's only set to 50 or so, very few guys would've been playing SS with arms below 50 even before.

I suspect that your other suggested culprit, the new fielding model as it relates to aging is very likely the problem.

Maybe the very high injuries contributed, but it's my understanding that very high is actually the injury setting that correlates most closely to rl, at least in modern times. So that may be a contributing factor, especially in the Bill Dahlen era, but I wouldn't think it's the biggest culprit.

Would you have any interest in running a quick-sim test league ? One with injuries at normal this time, just as a control so we can make sure the high injuries aren't the issue?
