Andy Abad is a good test to use. 21 major league plate appearances, 5,858 minor league plate appearances.
No matter what year you import him (manually, from the free agent screen), you get nearly the exact same result with some very slight differences if a season where he had a cup of coffee would be included. Also, if I look at his "Real Stats" tab...no minor league stats are included. The historical league I am importing him into includes real minor leagues. These results are pretty obviously of a player that has no actual stats being used for rating creation.
(I am going to run another test and create the initial league in 1996 next to see if results are any different when Abad is included in the initial player pool as a minor leaguer)
FYI, to tie into the OP. I did test importing 1996 Anderson with a league that was 1-Year recalc based and he had a significantly higher power rating than the OP screenshot. I can't remember exactly, but it was around 515 internally.
