It's minor tweaking, but I do feel like veterans are a bit undervalued in the game.

Using a higher tcr (120 +) will produce vets who sometimes have a resurgence in later years or develop finer tools, but when guys start to regress, they do regress fast. This is especially true for pitchers when they lose velo.
I do agree that the current system is not equipped to handle complete outliers : you'll never see Barry Bonds get walked as much as he did in 2004, Rickey Henderson never steals as much as he did IRL and you'll never get an RA Dickey or a Rick Ankiel type of story, but at the same time, these players are so rare that it's kind of a given that a simulation that is based on tryin to give an accurate representation of a baseball season as a whole will no have such extreme outliers.
