dola,
position player creation problem reproduced once again. Here's how many free agent pitchers and batters there were available on Opening Day each year:
Code:
Year P B
2006 54 86
2007 75 96
2008 91 84
2009 106 55
2010 117 29
2011 133 22
2012 141 14
2013 153 11
2014 160 3
2015 175 1
There are 117 retired pitchers and 149 retired batters after those 10 seasons, which looks pretty balanced...unfortunately I forgot to check for that earlier, so I don't know if batters retired at an abnormally high rate in the first few years. Still, there should definitely be more than just 1 free agent position player.
