Well I have a little time. So let me explain the creation of Charleston and lay out his ratings.

Charleston is my favourite player ever in baseball and the greatest player to ever have played the game. So needless to say he is going to be the best player in the league.

Chaleston was a CF who could play the other OF spots and played 1B later in his carrer.
He was a left handed batter and threw with his left as well.
His birthday is Oct. 14th and will have the same birthdate in my league.
He was 6'0" tall and weighed 190 lbs.

Anyways, lets move to his ratings.

In CF he was compared to Tris Speaker. I think his range would translate out to a 10.
His ratings at the other two OF spots were probably excellent as well. I will make them both 8.
He played 1B later in his carrer and his legs got bad. As a younger player I assume he would of made an excellent 1B. I will make him an 8 there as well.
His arm was considered good but not the best in the league. I think an 85 rating seems fair.

As a hitter he was compared to Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth. His stats seem to back that up.
He hit .400 several seasons and hit .326 against major league competition and .361 in Cuban winter league action.
I am going to rate him a 110 in contact hitting. I may adust this if his average is just insane.
Power wise he was excellent as well. Hard to get a good read since Negro league seasons were short and incosistent.
I think a 80 power rating seems fair.
He also had excellent double and triples power. I am going to give him a 90 here.
Eye rating is extremly hard to predict since Negro league players did not take that many walks. Charleston is said to have had a good eye for the strike zone. I will give him a 80 here as well and a 80 in avoid K's

He was an excellent basestealer and for his posistion and size was one of the best. I will give him an 8 in both stealing and speed.

In short a total 5 tool player. He is 20 years old and fully developed. His development I will allow to take a natural course with no editing from me.
Every 'cloned' player will be treated in this manner.

He is going to be signed to the Nationals for 6 million for one year to start out. Every cloned player will always play for the team they did in real life. I will edit contracts if I have too to ensure this.
