leave it. it gives a distribution at least resembling what 'should be.'

it dominos into finances and other things... you want that distribution of ml service time as opposed to all 0.

on possible ramification -- all teams have too much money in the same exact years.. this will likely drive salaries up in these particular years when all players achieve FA at the same time if you 0 it out. it would work itself out, as oppose to anything permanent.

even better start to avoid that guesstimation, at creation pre-date enough years to turnover entire league (MiL+MLB) and sim to intended start day. if in a rush, 20 years would by ~100%, but not quite. 18-38 or 17-37 are both possible lingering players, but likely inconsequential.

anyway, this gives you a full(er) FA field, ability to start on any date you choose, and all players* are created as they will be in the future -- assuming no settings changes that relate.

you can erase history and such and make it like day one. you can speed up sim time by turning off various things in that time that don't affect development, aging, etc.

players created at inception are not quite the same in quality and distribution as what you will see.
