Negro Leaguers
Spritze,
If I could impose- I feel like the previous Garlon versions actually dealt very well with the added Negro Leaguers. I have used 2006 DB with much success and really like the idea that this handful of players, relatively, IS near the top of the leaderboards b/c the anecdotal evidence suggests these were all if not great then very, very good players. I can see the argument that if you added 100 or 150 Negro Leaguers then you could have an argument on your hands, but it's only 50 players and it's a hell of a bunch.
Is there any way to get a DB where the added player stats are based on comparisons to other major leaguers and not based on their NeL stats? This seems to me a better way to do it- had Josh Gibson played in the majors, there are many reasons to argue he would have put up stats similar to Jimmy Foxx. I guess I just think if the point of this DB is to neutralize the environment and you can argue Gibson was equal as a power hitter to players like Foxx then by using their Negro League stats the added players are not in fact on the same playing field, so to speak?
If I should just shut the hell up and edit the players myself, then just tell me. Thanks again for all your hard work with this.
