Do you think it is possible that the pitching becomes more dominant as the years progress and the league batting averages and HRs calm down? If there is that chance, I love the idea of the high offense now and then thinking that just maybe that next dominant pitcher(s) come along and lower those batting stats. Whaddya think???
Thanks again for the ideas and this discussion!

I don't really know how to answer that question. My thing is more comparing historical major leaguers in as similar an offensive environment as possible, and this technique kind of puts a choke hold on things as far as offensive output is concerned. It's possible that if you were to leave the LTMs alone for five years or so, you'd get some slippage one way or another, which is what it sounds like you want. This can also be used as a reset, if you find things are drifting more than you'd like them to.
From what I've heard from the fictional players, it seems that the offense continues to increase as you go along. I could be wrong about that though. Remember that I'm strictly a random debut historical player, so I don't know enough about fictional to let you know what will happen in your game.
