I once started a historical sim with a 31 year old reliever named Jim Stickland (mid-70's). Strickland was AA/AAA material (a 1-1.5 star guy) as my dynasty game started, but his ratings across consistently shot up for about a year until he was a solid 4-star (gold) pitcher, and my main lefty out of the pen. So yes, old guys can and sometimes do improve in OOTP.
