But using the .ODB is the only way to ensure that premier pitchers import with high pitch ratings, if not necessarily "historically correct" pitches, correct ? Ive started a bunch of leagues in 1903, and when using the .ODB someone like Rube Waddell always imports with high pitch ratings, while starting the league with a 3rd party .CSV file is a crapshoot as to whether his pitch ratings will be high or not.
So basically if you use the .ODB, you get good pitch ratings for good pitchers, BUT you lose out on the 3rd party extras like complete SB/CS/K data or "missing years" (like during the war) for players. If you use good 3rd party .CSV files (like Gambo or Garlon/Spritze) you get the 3rd party extras like complete SB/CS/K data and "missing years", BUT pitch ratings could be all over the map. Am I correct here?

It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you.
