If you simply want it to be possible for players who did well in real life to fail, and vice versa, just have the OOTP development engine handle player development instead of the default of annual adjustments to reflect real-life results. Players will then diverge gradually from their historical development paths, sometimes doing better and sometimes worse. Willie Mays may wind up as a journeyman outfielder, Marv Throneberry as a Hall of Famer.
