Why is that? What types of results do you get that are preferable for you compared to if you used "real" stats for a 1-ur recalc? (I'm still trying to understand the difference, in terms of results, output, etc.)

I suggest looking at baseball reference and sort all of the players in a season by AB and see if there are players between 150-299 AB who you think will be overpowered. If you are managing every game for a specific team you may want to set the imports to give your team the advantage. For example , if I am using the 2016 Cubs then AI will use 150 AB or lower because they had many really good contributors on that team who had over 100 AB and if I use the default 300 AB setting those players will not be as good. The same can be said of selecting the pitching imports. The 2016 Cubs had 5 SP who had more than 160 IP, so the default of 40/10 is fine, but if you are managing a team who had a pretty good 5th starter with only 120 IP, then you may want to go with 30/10 so that pitcher is not adjusted.
This makes sense. However, if one likes to play like I do - 1-year recalc and other settings that are ideal for the most-accurate year-by-year results - then you can't follow the system you describe above because we're not talking about a single year. Rather, we are talking about multiple seasons. But OOTP only gives us one opportunity to set the adjust/weaken numbers. We can't, for example, use 300/75/30/15 for the 1920's and then decide to use 250/67/25/10 for 1930...
