Do you mean to say that your latest version has normalized stats for pitchers? When do you think you'll have the hitters done? I had considered using your Normalized db. What has changed within your methodology?
Sorry for all the questions. I'm a bit of a newb to OOTP.

I hope to have it done in a month or so, hopefully sooner. What I have changed this time around is this:
Instead of normalizing individual player seasons, I normalize players based on their stats for their entire careers vs. the league average, each season weighted by their Plate Appearances or Innings Pitched in that season. Once I have their ratios, I can now go back apply it for each season relative to today's league averages to get a Normalized DB. For example:
For his career 1901-1919, Player Y hits 1.4 times the league's batting average (.200) for the same time period. His .280 batting average normalized for today, where the league hits .265 would be: .371. I will do this 1.4 times for each individual season to get his hits total each year. I will do this for each of the stats in my batting file.
Hope this has helped.
