One BIG issue I've had with that (twice in two attempts): After about 10 years, the game ran dangerously low on position players. I'm talking about a free agent list that held about 200 pitchers and 4 (!) position players.
And the problem wasn't that the teams were stocking their reserve rosters with position players...they only had about 3 on average per team, plus a couple of pitchers.
At any rate, the percentage of position players being spawned as free agents seemed to be way, way too low.
Made for extremely long player careers, at least.
