Forget about all the rest of the numbers, the IP and BF are the big two for me here. I've been wanting to try and keep pitchers somewhere in the range of 1984 innings and batters faced, and this is a great start. As I said before, it is only one season, and things could change as the seasons go by, but this is a helluva start.
The W/L record at the #10/#16 position is tremendous, for those who care about that sort of thing. One of the reasons raw numbers will be higher in categories you don't want to be higher in as a pitcher is that the AI keeps running a starter out there over and over again, even though it's quite clear that it's just not his year, and it's time for him to head to the bullpen or be released.
The BB are dead even at the #10/#16 positions, but there was a huuuge spread in pitching K in MLB in 1984, and it was quite compact in my OOTP game. DP, QS, CG, SHO, SB, CS (SB/CS is the same at the #10/#16 position!), and WPA are virtually identical at the #10/#16 position. The WAR are a bit off, but in the overall, this is outstanding, both from a PA & AB standpoint, and from an IP & BF standpoint, and after all, the goal is to keep those things close to where they were IRL in order to give yourself a shot at comparable leaderboards. The moral of the story is, give Normal Injuries, High Fatigue, and Strict Rotation Mode a shot in Random Debut. What have you got to lose?...Oops...Wait a minute...That doesn't have such a good connotation anymore does it?
