Yea. For players who played for several years, the settings result in a plausible career but not one that necessarily tracks or matches historical.

My current league is from 1951 through 1997. Mays hit 603 home runs. Aaron hit 597. Joe Adcock hit 518 mostly because unlike real life he had an injury free career. I think all of this is plausible.
