My guess is that every year, the people who like to run a bunch of test seasons (like Spanish Lefty) do it so they can see if anything has changed on that front. It's not a Ron Popeil rotisserie oven "set it and forget it" type of deal.
Look for another thread next year on this same topic, just like there was last year and the year before that - there's a reason that the thread is called the "annual settings thread"
As for why SL's numbers are so different from 100 or 1.000 - the only thing I can think of that makes sense is that perhaps 1.000 represents an average across the entire history of MLB (or at least from 1901 onward), and SL's numbers are done in a way to be the most like 2015. For my next project, if I get numbers and development that is as close to current day as possible, I'll be happy. And given the numbers that SL has shared, it looks like that's what I'll get.
