I am sure there were some strange pitching stats but i think most players with a below 1.00 career era was only around for a few seasons or never made the majors. I wish there was a way to find out how many fictional players actually made it to the majors and for how long so that you would have a better idea of whether too many made it to the majors. Anyways i only ran the league from 1903-1921 but i was just curious if those settings would make any difference.
Yeah, it was a minimal setup. I had all the same settings in the league. I was probably just too extreme in setting all the modifiers to .200. The tradeoff, to me, was that I would get only real players in the majors, which seemed to work. But I sacrificed realistic minor league stats to do it, which kind of defeated the purpose of having a minor league to begin with. If I had more free time, I'd try higher modifiers, maybe even up to .500 or so.
