I put my idea to dig deeper into the affiliate issue on hold since another, more curious issue sprung up. After advancing from 1935 to 1936, almost every major leaguer experienced precipitous speed/stealing/baserunning dropoffs at some point in the early spring. Just to give some idea, using the 0-100 scale (personal preference) the total number of batters that have speed numbers above 19 is exactly 4. Examples: Jo-Jo White went from 71 to 6, Lyn Lary went from 72 to 5. The minor leagues are mostly unaffected, although some players there also took hits. I have no idea if this is a bug or a program corruption. I'll probably reinstall the game and see what happens.
