Now just drop it. Like you did in the thread about a stats only update. Whether you drop it early or late you're doing to drop it.

To be honest, historical isn't really historical once you start letting guys play seasons they didn't in real life. Shoeless Joe playing the 1921 season is fictional. Sandy Koufax playing past the 66 season is fictional. If one was to clone Babe Ruth in 1927 and put one on each team, I agree it should not result in each Babe Ruth hitting 10 home runs. That being said, what is the solution for a game that is trying to provide a method of replicating historical seasons? Wouldn't getting things as accurate as possible in terms of true hisorical play be the most important thing?
