Fair enough. I don't want every HOF-calibre player to retire as soon as he loses effectiveness in defense, just appears to be a little too far the other way at the moment. There must be plenty of RL examples of players who didn't want to sit on the bench or eke out a few years just to get another 200 hits, but retired as soon as they thought they were past their best. For instance, pitchers seem to be doing this more in game than hitters do. In 3 sims that went beyond a few seasons, Cy Young always seemed to retire when still a starter, and still effective.
