I'm not using Bacon's roster, but I'm now at the end of 2021 of my 2014 carry over and I have to say the fiction of the universe I've created keeps me going.
Fictional players force you to scout them in game, getting you more invested in "your" team as opposed to viewing it as a team you were just handed. There is no doubt now that the team I'm playing with are my Blue Jays.
Maybe that won't appeal to you, but I know for me, the more I invest into my franchise the more I get out of it. With year to year saves, that investment/reward relationship can continue for the rest of the foreseeable future.
