I just wanted to share a very quick decline I had on one of my team.

One of my outfielder, at 33, was around 60/70/60/100 on a 0-100 scale. After 4 straight 900+ ops seasons, he had an inexplicably weak season, ,769 ops.

The next year, he starts hot, than talent drops one after the other, tough second half, but still a 830 ops.

That this year, at 35, quite amazing. He started the year around 40/50/40/90.

Up to mid-May, he already had 7 talent drops, but I somehow got someone to claim him and his 22 million overs 2 2/3 years.

It's mid season now and his ratings are : 26/31/2/59. He has a 606 OPS in 206 AB, and that includes a 770 month of April.

That's quite a quick way to decline. He's listed as durable, and no injuries were involved in his decline.

I made no changes to parameters whatsoever

It's cool if the game is able to produce such decline, but only in small numbers. Is this case extreme or quite common in the game and in real life?
