ABs: 175/75. Mark McGwire's an example here with 84, 135, and 317 AB from 1993-1995 in key playing years. Sammy Sosa's another with 183, 316, 262 from 1989-1992.
Hitters go with about 44 Starts (4 AB per Game) or 19-20 Starts for the 'Weaken' aspect.
IP: 22/10. This is tough due to the quadruple aspect for SP and ties in more with injuries than anything else. SP still get an equivalent of 12-14 Starts with 4-6 Starts for the 'Weaken' aspect.
My Ideals would be 275/150 and 45/30 but that's produced some wonky ratings as far as a lot of poorly rated players who didn't reach those limits or mediocre players being a little underrated (IMO) as a result.

Thank you. That is a very clear explanation with good examples. I do have a question for everyone here: If I understand correctly, if we use 3-year recalc with real stats, then weakening at say 90 AB means at 30 AB per year, that is at 90 AB over a 3-year period, and the same with IP. Is that right? Same with 5-year, the adjustment and weakening refers to total AB and IP over the recalc period. Not over one year. Correct? Because some of all of our questioning about results may be due to that difference, expecting that we are weakening based on one year, when it is only over 3 or 5 years that it counts the totals and takes effect.
