Gooden allowed 8 in 248 innings and Ojeda only gave up 6 in 190. In older times, there would be even lower numbers. In other words, it's era specific. Which brings the question: Linis, have you recalculated or otherwise changed league totals between years?

Only at the start of the sim. But not between years.
My example of Jared White is just one example of many. It seems whenever a pitcher is getting to the end of his career his ability hold down HR's goes but everything else stays the same (e.g. K/BB ratio).
In fact I can tell what pitchers are losing it by going to the league leaders page and look at the HRA leaders (descending). The ones who have given up 50+ HR's are usually past 35 yrs old and in the previous year usually have given less than 15.
