The likelihood of this being random seems rather small, since ratings for PP players are static and landing six (for instance) month long slumps in a row would be statistically unlikely. I'm wondering if there may be a pre-season dice roll of some sort that prompts good or bad seasons for players.
If this is the case, it would make a lot of sense to keep a strong reserve roster, identify slumping players a quarter of the way into the season and get them off the field.
Not a strategy I've personally employed much, but I often look back at the season's individual stats on a Sunday and wish I had.
Anyone put any thought into it?

No. I'm still stumped on how in a league most all pitchers under perform & all hitters under perform. Seems like if one is bad other should be good. but for a 99 Kershaw to be carrying a 5.50 era throughout seasons....underwhelming
