Cool sounding idea. I think you would have to really look at the dead ball model for this. Take the 1905 World Series for example. It was a 5 game series that the Giants won 4-1. In the series both Christy Mathewson or Joe McGinty started every game (Matty 3, McGinty 2). Red Ames pitched 1 inning in the Giants game 2 loss. Everything else was a complete game from the Giants side. That was part of the magic in those old days, ironman players. I don't think the game engine can even now account for this type of player usage in a OOTP historical replay. I also wonder how much managerial decisions impact the outcome of the game if ratings are the main driver? Anyway, I DO like the idea even if it sounds like I'm doing the exact opposite with my comments.
