My question is does he make the same thing happen in historic leagues that use the draft rather than assigning players to their original team? This is another reason why I always used to use Ankit's DB where players were a little bit more ML ready when they imported. It helped solve the problems of players, say Nolan Ryan for example, who originally came up for a very poor, very smal, cup of coffee in 1966 so he imported with very crappy ratings. He didn't play at all in 1967 and then came up as a wild but useable pitcher full-time in 1968. He always ended up useless in the game unless I used Ankit's DB. I wouldn't have so much of a problem with what Markus is doing if it took the players ratings into consideration rather than just making a blanket decision based on age. In other word if the players ratings were at or near MLB ready then make him elgible, but if they were not then don't make him elgible.
