Good idea — I'll probably frame "constructing a roster" as "Example Roster Strategies" so that people can understand why deadballers are so common for both pitching and hitting right now

Definitely needed talk about defense when discussing deadballers vs modern pitching/normalization (just4me has great data on this).

Truly, the data comes straight from the WIS normalization tool: https://www.whatifsports.com/mlb-l/league_averages.asp

This Log5 normalization explainer touches on both normalization in hitting/pitching and fielding: https://help.whatifsports.com/hc/en-us/articles/360014307091-What-is-normalization- It's not as thorough as some of the other explanations or examples, but it's a good summary.

One of the most common things I see from new users is "why does my [insert good rated fielder] make so many errors!!" When the simple explanation is that they're using all deadball pitchers.
