The roster set is just the vanilla Lahman import, with each player's fielding rating and percentages edited to be more in line with their actual career performance. I also edit players who seem to import incorrectly - such as great hitters who import with poor talent ratings for some reason - but pretty rarely, and only when it looks like the result comes from an error in the way OOTP looks at the Lahman database. For the most part, I don't touch the hitting ratings.

So far, most of the actual stars of the 1870s have fared quite well. Guys like Cap Anson, Ezra Sutton, Deacon White and Joe Start have been stars, with a few surprises that I rather enjoy. Right now I'm playing out a big game of the 1874 season, but after that I'll post the 1872 results.

Sounds good. I thought Lahman just went back to 1900 though.
