It works great in 2007, due to the modifiers.

Babe Ruth will come in as a pitcher and then switch to a hitter. Dennis Ecks will come in as a starter and will eventually switch to a closer (and be darn good at it).

You will not see Jose Cansaco on the mound making an idiot of himself, but that is a good thing.

It also handles the 'Hazle' type hitters quite well.

Even J.R. Richard, he left baseball in his prime. He will put up some numbers after 1980. Purists may want to give him a CEI in 1980.
