One of the fun things about these is the unexpected stars. Yours are Husting and Congalton. At this point the teams are so different from RL you can't really compare the results. I may try one where I turn off trades and duplicate the historical player movement. I see what you mean about Cy Young. The current replays have the same issues with a lot of the older great pitchers such as Clemens and Randy Johnson.

There have been some surprising performances and Husting has been excellent, for sure. The ones that upset me the most are the poor performers, like Young and Mordecai Brown, who's still pitching for the St. Louis Cardinals in my replay, is their #1 guy, but can't get wins because of how poor the team is. I'm not optimistic that he'll get to turn things around.
I do like how this replay has turned into 'an alternate reality' though, and it is interesting to see how a few trades throw everything out of kilter, compared to what happened in real life.
