The game clearly takes current season's performance into account. So at the beginning of the season, it's very common to have the odd superstar each season to have a few bad weeks and be sporting a .220 average or 6.00 ERA. When you run across these guys, the game can let you sign them for quite a bit under their market value.

The league I am in has house rules so that teams cannot extend a guy in April and May. Frankly, the game should take this into consideration. Whatever modifiers that are applied from the current season success should be negligible in when the season is only 10 or 20% completed. (You wouldn't want to use months, ABs, or IP, because this would break for a league that started in February rather than April, or a season that only had a 50 game schedule.)
