if I am playing historical years, but with the rosters different from an inaugural draft, but all players from the same season, I play 3-year with the current doubled in weight. This allows for some variation but also more or less realistic outcomes historically, and I also reduce the variability in talent down to 25.

So probably David Watts you and I like different kinds of outcomes. I don't love outlyers that much. But I understand wanting at least someone sometimes to have a big year.

When I play random debut, I prefer 5-year with current year doubled in weight. If I play a historical year I want players to miss seasons they missed and to retire as they did historically. But with random debut, I want a different baseball world. So the five-year recalc works better and also enables them to play during the war years etc.
