I don't know how historically accurate these necessarily are, but maybe it'll help.

I've simmed the 1957 MLB Season a number of times, trying to learn to use the modifiers for statistical accuracy. So far, I'm doing okay. But it's not unusual to see 18-20 losses for a starting pitcher, sometimes even 22 or 24. Can I change any settings to prevent the AI from continuing to trot out these losing pitchers? Wouldn't a 20-game loser at some point lose his spot in the rotation?
