Meaning of "Real" stats "Neutralized" stats "optimize for single season"
These questions came up in the Historical forum as topic drift and I thought I'd post about it here for a wider discussion. For example, how do players ratings differ depending on how they are imported? For example optimized for single season or career, real or neutralized, and into what year.
Previous discussion if interested... drifts to these issues about post 13 or 14.

Following is imported ratings for Roger Maris 61 home run season. Not at all what I'd expect. And career appears to be multi year averaging even though single year rating base is selected.
