If a rating for work ethic is included and if it is assigned properly to the correct players. How you would do that I'm not sure, but it seems to me you'd either have to add a rating column to the Lahman DB and assign these "ratings" prior to importing or go and edit this "rating" for each individual player after he was imported. Regardless, the game still won't recognize a name, only the ratings like it does now.
Let me be clear. I'm not particularly for the idea of such hidden ratings, I'm merely suggesting that if they exist for the purposes of extending careers that historical simmers would (I expect) be interested in using them to "properly" extend the right ones. In fact, I'm not for a hidden work ethic rating at all. If there is a work ethic parameter, then I would want it to be open and manageable as an option. Realistically, a player's work ethic is far more visible than his "clutchness" or his loyalty or any of those kinds of things, so what the heck.
