Originally, I was taking a test. John Leisher in '50. 65/65. Age set to 18, peak start set to 18, peak end set to 50, health set to 100. I filled an entire pitching staff with him. Draft predictability 0%. HoF Careers 70%.
My goal? See if I could win the World Series with a horrible pitching staff that I probably wouldn't have to pay much. Result? ... John Leisher and his clones became good starters and 1 of them won a Cy Young at age 23. One saves 60 games and blows 3 saves.
Initially, these guys were career minor leagers, 5-7 ERA guys, .300 BAA and now I have a Cy Young winner!
All of them had a HUGE statistical improvement. (dropping from batters hitting over .300 against them to .250 in predicted stats)
NONE fell off a cliff.
ONE didn't do so well because he left the team, wasn't given playing time, and ended up at 75/75 holding batters to a .278 predicted OBA.
Also if a player has a no-trade clause the AI STILL trades him x_X;;
