Default Re: Player usage rules

I've never played Sim before, so I'll trust your experience here. I agree, there are more marginal players to who have good looking numbers in limited experience than there are stars who would have a cap. Ideally, the system would eliminate these anomalies by having a playing time dependent stat, like Runs Created, carry some weight in there performance scores, and by looking at 4 year periods to bump up the usual stars who have been degraded by being hurt one year.

EDIT: There is also the problem of rookies who didn't play all of the season last year and shined. Guys like Daric Barton and Clay Buccholz, who have elite talent and showed it in very limited playing time, will be practically worthless in this game.
