The issue is actually a recurring problem in OOTP. The game simply imports "real" rookies a bit too good. A player with 1 ratings across the boards does not perform at the major league level much worse than a 4. (essentially differing a .200 hitter and a .240 hitter). When it creates real rookies it assumes they are major leaguers so it will have slighly boosted ratings. Using the recalculate option does help this alot because it will bring the player down a bit in their 2nd season to realistic ratings. The downside is if you check your league you will see players sometimes spend their 1st season in the majors and their 2nd and 3rd in the minors. Eventually becoming a full time major leaguer near the actual point in their careers. You will see this less when using a draft however because the players will be drafted in December then recalculated in spring before the season starts.
