On the subject of player usage for next year, why not have a position player or pitcher revert to triple A stats once they reach a certain number of at bats or innings pitched.
In other words in a Traditional league, if Jack Morris pitched 150 innings the year before, when he pitches after having pitched 150, his result is based on a guy that has an ERA of 5.00 or 6.00 . In Real Time say Morris has pitched 50 innings by the end of May, if he pitches more than that he is not as effective.
This will make managers think twice about picking a guy with a ERA of 0.75 who has only pitched 25 innings.
