I know SL BBM can be a crap shoot but is it usually better to pick a player in their best season or the year before/year after?
Also, I realize age and career trajectory matter.

Let's use mystery player A:

25 - 150 OPS+
26 - 141 OPS+
27 - 136 OPS+

And then they have up and down seasons for 7-8 years.

As a general rule Mogul takes a holistic look at their whole career and places the player in one of three broad categories: rookie/pre-peak, peak, decline/end career. You generally want players who:

A. Have long careers where they consistently put up good numbers;
B. Be in the sort of "meat" of when they played their best. Some players peak later (Dazzy Vance) and some peaked early (Albert Pujols). There's a general plateau area where you're close enough and you get their "predicted" all-star values, with some variance due to a built-in margin so that you get variability between different sims, since baseball is very random too.

If you're not sure, safe bets are their 26-30 aged seasons. That's not to say players outside these years are unusuable; younger players unless they're prodigies will not perform to their absolute best compared with their seasoned counterparts, and older players will have degraded on their vital stats, including their ability to avoid injury (important since a player who broke his femur can't hit dingers for you). I run an ancient Stan Musial in the DH since his career runs from sometime between 10BCE to roughly the late Reagan administration, but his production was high even into his 40s so Mogul treats him kindly. But he's not gonna be an everyday player in the outfield.

It kind of does this to players, right?
The red line below is what I'd guess SL BBM would do to Bonds' career if I didn't know what Bonds was like in the SL.
It's never going to be this straight forward but it sort of recharts the player's current/future value based on where they are in their career and what they were like around that time in their career....?

You're a brave man for letting that (2/3) geriatric outfield attempt to play defense in that stadium.
