I'm not certain whether this belongs in this thread, or in Game Setup.

Suggestion: Players should have ratings based on relative abilites to do things, then those ratings should be modified by era.

Reason: The idea that a deadball hitter wouldn't be able to hit home runs in a liveball era is ludicrous. If you're playing in a 'best of' league with the 25 or whatever best players from each team, or in a 'random debut' universe, then players from the deadball era are unfairly penalized. Likewise, if there's a sudden shift from deadball to liveball in a fictional universe the players created before the shift will be penalized for the remainders of their careers.

Priority: Probably low, but it annoys me.
