Good catch.

Not only are those two players missing but any Lahman player who was only a DH is missing as well. It appears that if there is no career fielding data in the master.csv the player does not load, even if he has a batting and regular fielding record and even if one is not using the career fielding option.

The formulas used to designate career fielding ratings in OOTP do not work for some positions in International leagues and for DH's because the data used does not exist.

I'll adjust those formulas to work with the data at hand so I can generate ratings for players like Oh and Gibson. I'll ask Markus what he wants to do about DH only players. There are very few of them as most players spent at least some time in the field.
