This is a HUGE issue . . . does anyone have any ideas? For example, Bill Keister (BLA), who once made 97 errors in a season at SS, has played through nine full seasons as an everyday SS in my sim without making more than 12 errors in a season. Historical sims seem pretty much a pointless exercise without making some sort of adjustment here.
