Bob Forsch seem to come in as a outfielder and never switches to pitcher (in 2 test runs). Personally I think people who did not play a percentage of their games at a position shouldnt be rated there.


The other thing is, that the (high) number of players from Japan seems to unrealistically dilute the major leagues. I havent look at the length of their careers or age of entry, but so far many good pro players are being left out (mainly seen at SS/2B and RP) never gracing the major league roster - were not talking utility players, were talking people who were starting at their position for 7 to 10 years becoming career minor leaguers. Since this is only from one test of the complete history (1871-on) and happens from 1960 on, it may change with the next testing. Next test I will eliminate the draft to see if that helps the 'real' players.
