Mark Loretta, a guy I love as a utility player was showing up all the time. Other guys I think I saw almost every time that are far from all time greats:

Funny you should mention Maddux, as I never saw him for the first several, and he's been there the last couple. Pete Rose I've seen several times when he was old. Molitor I've also seen a lot. I'd say the most frequent HOF players I've seen at their peaks are Clemens, Mantle, and Hornsby

Mantle hasn't shown up yet today, I've run a few, though I've been messing with the minimum ABs/IP before they start adjusting hitters to see if that does anything. The answer is from what I can tell, it absolutely does! I've been seeing a lot of new talent out there, many of them I've never heard of, but seeing some fresh blood is fine. Seems like lowering the threshold to 200AB and 25IP let a lot of 19th century players with fewer games played into the pool, which is actually a great thing!

I haven't really dove into random debut yet using 22, but I did notice Cavan Biggio showing up in a ton of the randoms I created with 21. His dad is another guy like Kirby Puckett for me, in that he shows up often, but never at a young age. He's always 30 and above.
