Akin to Fernando, some clean-up done.

This is the first on of these I checked and he actually looks fine in the database. Curve best then Fastball then Changeup. I'm not sure how much the game relies on some of the other details in the db but the Curve fwiw is ranked the highest the game can give it (excellent). I added his late career sinker as a fourth pitch and "fair". Unlike Fernando, there may be issues with compression of ratings or something else if it isn't actual db related like Fernando.

Fastball rated Excellent and as #1 pitch in the db. Like Bly in indication of maybe another issue.

Cleaned-up. We'll see if that helps

Cleaned-up. I actually made the Circle Change to the #1; it's distinct in the db from a straight change-up

Cleaned-up a bit but the important stuff looked fine.

Should have been fine. I cleaned him up earlier this year

Cleaned-up.

So, on some of the fields I cleaned up, they never used to matter. Let's see if the next patch with a historical.database.odb update (not all patches have one) changes anything. If it doesn't, that's another problem but at least the database will be off the table as a point of focus.
