IRL, a 32 year old Don Zimmer had 13/44/.288 at DC Stadium; but only had 298 AB's.

Unless you're playing 1-year recalc (which is very ill advised for random debut according to Markus), comparing a player's seasons is pure folly. Everything is different from what went on IRL, so comparisons just aren't worth it. You'll drive yourself nuts. More important is trying to keep league-wide numbers in line with what you want, and hopefully a player's career numbers when it's all said and done are close to RL, but they won't necessarily be. That's OK. If you want numbers that match up (even Diamond Mind and Strat can't boast this BTW) you'll need to do straight historicals with historical lineups and transactions, which (I don't know about you, but) are kind of boring to me, but whatever floats your boat. Stop looking for perfection because you ain't gonna find it. Just control the things you can control and enjoy the games.
