Spritze,
Thanks again for all your great DB work, definitely the best one out there.
I'm up to 1963 in a "dry run" and one thing has stood out- only one Negro Leaguer has had anything resembling a decent career (Jud Wilson) while right now(in 1963), 15 of the top 30 players are Japanese.
It seems we're back to square one with Negro Leaguers? My only complaint about the DB is that the Negro Leaguers shouldn't be "punished" b/c there stats weren't maintained/respected the way they should have been.
I understand the most practical thing to do is to simply use whatever real stats are out there, but we all know how shoddy the real NeL stats are, and for a career minor leaguer to have a robust pile of MLE's while Satchel Paige, for example, doesn't have much to show seems a little off?
I thought the last DB had reached a very nice compromise with Negro Leaguer performance- any reason that was changed?
Can you suggest a remedy for me?
And, if the remedy is to individually edit each player, can you suggest what settings I should use with the DB? Previously, I have found that editing ratings yearly with re-calc on is a chore, because it has to be done over and over and I don't want to turn re-calc off. Do you know if switching the %'s around will make a difference? And speaking of %'s, what default settings do you recommend for those?
Christ, too many questions. Sorry!
Thanks for any advice in advance, and again- this is a GREAT DB.
