That doesn't make him Cy Young, but he should be better the Mark 'the bird' Fidrych. But I can modify the players if I think they should have different career settings.

Bullet Joe needs a 8 year pitching career, with a overlaping 8 year batter career since the game does not handle 2-way players or players over 40 very well.

Overall, Home Runs need to be reduced greatly on N/L players. I think they never should be over 40 for any of the players. Keeping the batting averages near the Major League leaders (since these are the best of their league) would keep them on Major League teams.

I know I don't want them all making the top of the leader boards, or overall dominance, but I do want them to be 'in the news' in their time in the game.
