yes
An option like this would be very useful for quick and easy comparisons between simulations. I have a fantasy all-time league, using players from all baseball history with a good deal of standardization included to try to semi-accurately portray the differences that players would have statistically. I cannot at present run a year and store its final statistics without some 3rd party utilities, even then it is not always in a useful or quick to access format. Beyond team stats like standings and overall stats, it is difficult to make effective use of these outputs. Such a thing would allow me to make such overall adjustments (like simply more doubles or HRs) as I would see fit, and to experiment in order to see which players are generally good and which are floundering and might need replaced. One other thing, I'd like it to erase the '1st HR/hit' thing every time you do a replay (it just keeps tallying no matter how many times you run the thing), or just not even keep track of it in a replay league. This is something useful in a career league where players have a long history and while it doesn't take up much room at all, it is room that I personally would rather see used to help store prior simulated stats for example.
While it would have the effect of being a 'career' league where players have 'historical' stats, I think it would serve my purposes quite a bit better. I have no interest in playing Brian Jordan instead of Babe Ruth on my team simply because Ruth is aged or retired. I might play him if he tires over the season or gets hurt. Besides that, I spent a good deal of time assembling data and computing averages so forth. That effort I would prefer bear fruit. This sort of league is created with the specific intent of playing with the all-time greats of baseball assembled on a variety of rosters. Career play is wasted for this sort of thing, replay is preferred.
