[IBL] IBL: More thoughts on a 2020 campaign

[Russell Peltz]

Personally, I don't think we should do anything too weird, and I'd like to
play a full season.

Since we'll need to add more low-playing time players and even full time
players will only have around 240 PA or 60 innings, I think we will need
to regress everyone's stats toward league average similar to how we regress
LH/RH splits to mitigate small sample weirdness.
The fewer PA/IP, the more their stats would be regressed.
