Oh wow . . . I wouldn't mind seeing Aparicio sometimes have a 22 year (as opposed to 18 in real life) easy HoF career (as opposed to his actual borderline HoF career), other times have a 10-12 year decent player career. I would like to see his peak as a 4.5-6.0 WAR type player, but I don't care if he peaks early or later than real life, or sometimes peaks at 3 and sometimes peaks at 7 or 8 WAR.

But I would want him to generally be a singles hitting SS with a good glove who steals bases. He averaged 5 HR/162 G (700 PA) in real life. If he averaged 2 or 10 I wouldn't care in OOTP. If he averaged 20 that would be an issue.

Neutered to my 1983 environment, he would be a .265/.315/.350 type of hitter. If that ends up being .300/.355/.395 with some luck, no issue. Or with bad luck .240/.290/.325 same thing.

But I wouldn't want him to end up being Cal Ripken.

Would setting the historical talent randomness to 1 (on the 1-200 scale) achieve this? Or would that be too extreme, maybe set to 20 or 50? I have no idea what the numbers mean other than 100 is 'normal' for OOTP.
