I believe I have the league totals/ratings adjusted correctly. One big mistake I've been making in this regard is trying to get them to mirror 80s stats but not allowing for the fact that younger teams, by virtue of how I'm doing this, are less advanced, which means they will bring the totals down offensively and league ERAs higher. I haven't been factoring that in and I should have. So the ratings look much more representative now.
I have conducted ratings conversions for Japanese hitters, but they are not entered yet. Initial defensive and general ratings are going to go by defensive awards and comments from Jim Albright, the best of the Japanese baseball researchers that I know of. He's been kind enough to trade e-mails with me in the past and hopefully I can pick his brain a bit again as I proceed with this. The draftees will likely be an ongoing revision process based on the more information I receive. I will do my best to make it as accurate as possible with what I know at the time, obviously.
I'm going to read up on this board more regarding the impact on steal ratings and try to get that taken care of quickly. I don't imaging it being too hard. In fact, I'm not really sure my numbers are as off as I initially thought, so I'll look at this more as well.
Not sure how I will handle subsequent versions/revisions as far as releases go. But the V3 release will be the one when all the players I've posted in the last few posts are added. There will be a V2.1, likely a 2.2, somewhere in between.
Anything you've all seen, questions, comments, etc., fire away.
