I can do this later today. But why problems exist only in minor leagues (and not ML, COL, and HS) is not clear. The rollover to from 1 to 255 is an interesting idea but it if it happens it seems that it should happen more in lower minors than in upper minors as ratings for players improve as they move up the minor league system which should cause fewer AAA players to rollover to 255 than, say, A players. But, based on BA, it seems the problem hits all the minor leagues about equally.

It seems, given that you can adjust the stats/modifiers for minor leagues, that Markus
intends for minor league stats to be relatively unaffected by the undeveloped ratings of minor league players. Plus the ratings of minor league players in, say, AAA likely didn't change much between 1871 and 1872 although the stats changed dramatically between these two years. This might suggest that something else is involved...but who knows.
I wonder if the routine intended to generate the "correct" stats in various minor leagues has a goof in it. For instance, perhaps some of the data used to adjust stat outcomes in minor leagues accidentially comes from a higher league. That is, the routine that should use the ratings from, say,
AAA to adjust AAA stats uses, rather, ratings from
ML players to adjust AAA stats.
