Spritze worked hard on those, and if you check the Real Batting Stats tab you will see that it's the same as the Neutralized Batting Stats tab (at least for the Spritze HS for OOTP16 DB version of Oscar Charleston). Not sure how he did it given the dearth of info and record keeping, but somehow he did. I think he used a variety of sources and some fudging to get it done, but you'd have to ask him.
I've had Charleston, Louis Santop, Dick Redding, Bill Foster, Bullet Rogan along with non-big name Negro Leaguers in my league, and the big names have done really well. Charleston (while not on par with the 2 CF in my HoF - Mickey Mantle and Reggie Smith [who are absolutely inner circle HoFers in my game]) has had a career that's good enough for the HoF in my eyes. He's been a 6-time All-Star, 3-time Silver Slugger, and had 1 MVP Award in his career so far. The big name guys that you'd expect to do well should be among your league leaders at some point in their careers. Like I said, Spritze did a great job with admittedly limited resources.
