Some Notes on 1920
This is of course, the sort of "quantum-leap" point in the timeline for NeL players as their historical stats for the most part start being assessed as MLB-level, and there are more of them so that the "make-bads" have less of an effect.
For this exercise, there are also a number of considerations. Usage is a big issue - there are only so many positions and teams across the MLB, so with this big influx of quality all players will be hit for how they are used.
Statistical output is the other thing to keep in mind. LTMs mean there are only so many counting stats to go around and that makes for compressed leaderboards with all these "extraneous" players now in the league.
The way around this is, of course, to add more teams. The LTMs pro-rata out as per how many teams are in the league. But with historical minors on, I'd have to reset this every year and I don't want to do that. So I'll just have to tolerate the inevitable regression to the mean.
For anyone who is manually adding NeLers to the historical MLB setup, however, I recommend you add 2 teams sometime before 1920 if just using the major league level and even up to 4 if using historical minors.
