Lee,
I went to about -0.200. I didn't look too closely, but it didn't look materially different than when I used 0.000.

Dougnuts,
No offense intended... that was just my way of trying to be funny.

Jdawgsenior,
I think the reason the shift feels more pronounced is that the production of the older players is higher than it has been in the past. Hence, they are more noticable. I didn't look too extensively at how production varried with age. All I did was look at the career leaderbaords to make sure they weren't out of whack and examine players who won the MVP or the Cy Young to see when their careers dropped off. Things seemed reasonable, so I didn't think to do anything else.

Markmeister,
I don't think the aging modifiers would explain the varriance you saw in your 1920's stats.

Everyone:
Having played the game some more, the phenom problem is indeed there, and it's annoying. I don't know what can be done about it, though. The only thing that comes to mind is lowering the MLEs for the lowest level of the minors. I don't think that would do the trick, though. Of course, having phenoms isn't really that big a deal for me, so I'm content to live with it.
