Another issue is how people are using the import settings.

For single season replays the default import settings are probably fine.

For 5yr I suggest

Batters 165/154
Pitchers 17/14

Remember, that for Starting Pitchers those values automatically get multiplied by 4. So with 5yr recalc that is 17*4*5 = 340 IP for starting pitchers. For relievers the sample size is 17*5 = 85 IP. This will keep the best players in the lineups and rotation and have them perform very well.

As a side note, by Setting Position Player fatigue to Very High (my suggestion) you will get more realistic result for batters. As you move this setting to Very Low you will get more dominance from the best starting pitchers. This is because on a Very Low setting the lineups tend to be stronger because the players do not need as much rest and pitchers who are below average will not perform as well because they are facing stronger lineups and the result is that good pitchers end up performing even better. With position player fatigue set to very high the best batters will actually perform more accurately in terms of both playing time and performance. As weaker batters get a bit more playing time the best batters, like Ty Cobb, will end up performing better when they do play and they will still be playing a realistic amount of games.
