It isn't so much a no recalc deficiency as it is a deficiency with how the database and game handle such a guy. But, really, it isn't their fault either. It makes perfect sense for some guys to be imported as relievers since that is how they started, all part of the 'alternative history' approach, you know?

I either let a guy such as that stay as a reliever or, in the case of Carlton where he is simply unacceptable as anything but a starter, I'll manually edit him during the amateur draft to look more acceptable to me. I do the same with players and their defense when they are imported with low defense when by all accounts they were considered by their peers to be excellent defenders (whether they were statistically or not). If I am playing with intelligence/work ethic/other stuff on (though I never use morale), I'll edit guys rates there if I think some things aren't right (like Ted Williams coming in with no intelligence or work ethic).
