In other words, the star player pool (at least according to the ratings) is drying up as I play through more seasons. This has left me with a league of mostly average players (per their ratings).

Does this correct itself over time?
left-handed, I only play one league... no minors... use the reserve roster.

64 teams... 8 divisions with 8 teams each.

I noticed that after about 10 years, my rookies did not perform well... the Rookie of the Year competition did not have many qualified players.that had good stats.... that when I first noticed the lack of talent.

I finally started creating my own draft class using the free agents screen to create new players each season... the draft created too many players that never amounted to anything.

I still create the rookie class each year and assign them randomly to each team... 2 players each year per team... this works fairly well...except the pitchers do much better than the position players... but I noticed not too many rookie performed well this season.

I create a variety of talent... a few stars... some good players...mostly average players and a lot of bench players.

The game does not seem to do a good job of replenishing talent each year.
