I use recalc and player development together, and goodness knows what his injury rating will be (I've never looked), so he could get bitten by the player development hamsters or injuries or both. It happened to Ken Griffey Jr in that league. Both him and his pops came into the league at 23 in the inaugural season:
Jr: 2210 G, 8623 PA, .250/.327/.408/.735, 1028 R, 1915 H, 312 2B, 26 3B, 280 HR, 1032 RBI, 107 SB, 109 OPS+, 39.8 WAR
Sr: 2875 G, 12005 PA, .297/.351/.427/.778, 1464 R, 3256 H, 525 2B, 107 3B, 229 HR, 1380 RBI, 256 SB, 120 OPS+, 51.5 WAR
In what universe is Sr a better player than Jr? Well, mine I guess.
Hey kr83. It seems I've utterly derailed your thread. I'm sorry about that. Believe me, it was in the spirit of showing what's possible with these settings, and then my enthusiasm got the better of me. It was not to take things in a completely different direction. It's sort of on topic, but I hope I haven't upset you.
