Yes I do use the ERACalc. The normalization doesn't effect the ratings for players (the db itself takes care of this) but will effect past career stats for any pitchers starting before 1920. Because the stats and ratings were "normalized" to the 1920 season, most (if not all) pitchers imported before 1920 will have higher ERA's than they really did in real life (RL ERA of 2.50 may be shown in the career stats as a 3.30 instead).
Not a big deal if you erase all career stats before your league begins, but if you dont (like I dont) then all pitchers start the history off with skewed or incorrect past career stats.
Also, it is only for pitchers imported before 1920 (if you import a 1946 season, career stats will be correct-no normalization has been done).
