That's about a 10-15% variance which you stated you didn't mind seeing. The guy just dropped off at age 30 which happens a lot more than you think. Look up Richard Hidalgo for an even more extreme example.
I'm sorry, I'm probably not being clear in what I'm saying. My use of Kris Davis has absolutely zero to do with him falling off the table. Since you brought up Richard Hildalgo, let's use his career, .303, .227, .314, .275,.235, .309, .239, .and .221. That his batting averages 1997-2005. That's perfect. That's why I uses recalc. I want that roller coaster ride. I don't get that with development only. I won't use 5 year recalc for the very same reason. Again, not a criticism of the game at all. Just my preference.
