I sense there's sub-text in that statement that I'm failing to pick up, Ron.
I just sense that OOTP is close to something really great with its historical, if not coming out of the box, then at least with the proper manipulation and patience in editing.
I suppose the only way to secure Belanger's rightful place as a starter in Baltimore is to suck the hell out of Frank Baker's ratings. What's funnny is that even when I force the AI to start Belanger at SS by gunpoint at the checkbox, it still gets the last laugh by making someone like Baker start every
other game.
But the Niekro thing is a mystery to me. Why would a guy who was a top-tier pitcher in his three year ratings period
repeatedly come up as "filler"? That seems to be a translation issue between Lahman and OOTP.
