It does not neutralize stats across eras. Even though th DB is based on a 750-run environment, the way those 750 runs are accumulated are vastly different throughout history. The neutralized stats really adjust for ballpark factors. If you want realistic play for players from different eras then you need translated statistics and even then you have to decide what era you want to translate to. The Davenport Translations translate player stats from every year to a standard environment. This is done using EQA. I have tried to find the formulas used to do this but I don't see these published anywhere.
I was planning to do a couple roster projects using these as the basis. One project with the 25 best players from every franchise, and another project with the single best team for every franchise. This of course will take quite a while to put together and can only be used for a single season.
