Well, Hornsby and Cobb - and everyone else - have their ratings based on historical stats so in almost all cases they will be pretty good players and while not perfect OOTP has improved it's accuracy in recreating historical player careers over the many versions of the game.
That being said you could get some more randomness in career progression by ensuring you uncheck the options to recalculate ratings (if memory serves me correct they are in the historical tab and have 1, 3 and 5 years as the choices). By disabling that the players will still have the same initial ratings when they first join the league but the OOTP player development engine takes over on career development and it will have some players either be a lot better or worse than they were in real life. I suppose you could also increase the talent change randomness setting (again, just going from memory but I believe it is an option on the general settings tab in the game) which might amplify the chances for players to have a career much different from real life.
Playing with minor leagues enabled and these settings will also change things up a lot more if you want some players who never made the majors in real life suddenly becoming stars in your league. However, note if you enable real minor league progression you will have the problem you first posted about as enabling the minor league players and teams to import I believe will force the teams to follow real life progression- meaning the fictional expansion teams you wanted will be deleted after the first year again.
Hope that helps a bit towards getting what you want.
