There should be a difference between a Kevin Youkilis, and a Randall Simon!

Generated counts don't really help with this much as it doesn't give you a feel for the AB for stolen bases, and getting a read/feel for the pitcher.

Having the game "auto not-swing" or something silly like that would take too much control out of the player's hands.

Perhaps having some sort of rating that determines how often balls/strikes are thrown. For instance, Pudge would see a lot of early strikes in the zone and not too many balls. Other guys who walk a lot, might have some simple pitches thrown to lay off of. Perhaps the pitchers just need to be overly cautious towards certain players. I know the game does some of this, but not enough to create good separation for certain players and their BB totals.
This is would something truly ****!
