The only solution i ever found was to manually edit the numbers, first by cloning the player, then deleting the historical one, so the game won't resort to replacing the edits with "historical game levels" at the end of each season then editing the cloned players #s to what they were in The Negro Leagues. It's a long and tedious process.

Do we know to what degree the Negro Leaguers' stats were down-tweaked? Are they, for example, on par with stats accumulated by players in the highest minor-league levels (AA or AAA, depending upon the year), or lower than that? And how does the down-tweaking compare to that of Federal League stats?
Spritze would probably be the one to definitively answer these, but he has not posted in awhile.
Not sure what it would entail, but if anything I think we should at least have the
option to bring in the many legendary Negro Leaguers rated as if their stats were accumulated near MLB levels. Whether that should be close to AAA, I dunno. But perhaps something that should be looked into if the consensus (?) is that Negro Leaguers are coming in as being rated too low. Maybe options like this:
Import Negro Leaguers...
a) as major-leaguers
b) as high-level minor-leaguers
c) as mid-level minor-leaguers
... with my assumption being that they are currently rated/imported as either c) above or somewhere in between b and c. (I have no idea.)
