Jennings pitched 6 of 9 big league seasons as a Rockie. 941 of his 1128 1/3 IP in the bigs were as a member of the Rockies. His RL ERA+ on BBREF is 98 (coincidentally the same as Mike Torrez). His RL ERA+ in the OOTP RL stats display is 92.

Jennings neutralized ERA on BBREF is 4.31. In OOTP it is 4.43.
Jennings neutralized H/9 on BBREF is 9.3. In OOTP it is 9.41.

So, Mike Torrez, who pitched much of his career in St Louis, Montreal, Yankee Stadium (before the Winfield fences) and Shea stadium has a RL ERA+ in the OOTP database of 121, and Jennings has one of 92. They both should be 98. Because of this, Mike Torrez gets an arbitrary advantage in OOTP over Jennings. This is not acceptable.

This stuff is all way above my head, but could Torrez be getting a bump due to his years pitching in Boston?
