First of all, I really dig this DB. I started a league in 1976 and by 1979 my league is overran with studs under 25 years of age. For instance, 12 out of 20 of the top batters are under 25. I think the problem is that I am not using the recalc option. So, take Cal Ripken, he was drafted at age 18 with ratings of 4 (out of 10) across the board, basically, major league ready. He is starting in the majors by 1978 at age 19. In real life, he didn't play full time until 1982. This is the same for all stud draft picks, they get to the majors much faster than in real life. I just took a look at the 1979 draft pool. It has Jose Rijo as a 14 year old with 4/6/4 ratings (6/8/7 talents). He will probably be pitching in the Majors by age 16. Any ideas on a remedy for this? Maybe I'll have to edit all of these types of players, or change the development modifiers? Anyway, not sure where I was going with this, just a heads up to those using the DB.
