3) Players debuting in initial year at older ages: If you would choose to delete the player, would that player possibly debut again later, or has OOTP already "counted" that player/removed from available pool? If that doesn't work, My thought would be to delete any true HOF type players who debut in the initial year as old, and import into the draft pool (that year or next year) in their rookie year
Great stuff guys. I've been playing historical, haven't done random yet, and haven't stuck with a league for a long time yet either/keep tweaking and restarting.

I think action went with 1984 for the balance across the league. Hits, power, wins, era, sb's all were pretty even. What I mean is no area far exceeded others like in the 90's with HR's or the deadball era with wins. cg's and sb's, etc.
What you could do for older players is use spritzes db to import players at 18. Like if Ruth comes in the inaugural draft at 37 you could delete him before the draft and import spritzes Ruth at age 18. My oldest player in my draft is Jeff Kent at 39 but for the most part I was pretty happy with the ages in my draft. Hardly any real impact players were in their 30's.
