This is how I try to play things out as well. When using the historical minors, it boggles my mind that some players in the draft import the year they were drafted almost fully developed. Honestly, the chronic offenders are the ones that were sure fire HOF type players or guys who were consistently in the Mid-Summer Classic. Having said that, I would still think that if you decided to have recalc off that their current ratings would be lower to begin with and the ceiling would be high.
Historical rookies may also be the ticket because then you can't cheat the system. Although, I do know that Action Jackson uses some sort of spreadsheet to evaluate the worth of each player from doing some research. Curious as to how that works.
