I could also easily run my db through the OOTP/Garlon/Spritze neutralization process as well. It only takes 43 seconds (1871-2008) to do so as I have that program to hand, so I think I may as well. Currently I just use it to fill gaps for the war years and any other missing years. Since my db includes minor league seasons those are not missing. I sorta think 43 seconds is a reasonable amount of my life to burn on providing neutralized stats. I mean what else am I gonna do with those seconds? Bake a cake?

I have about 60 more SABR minor league stars to add to the db and then I will release the next version. The next release ADDS the complete major and minor league records of all players whose careers ended during the war (WWII)years and 300 more of SABR's minor league stars as well as an additional 23 negro leaguers using their actual Negro, Cuban and Mexican league stats and the Japanese league records of all those who have also played in the majors. I will also include the real historical pitch data and draft values and career fielding numbers that have been attached to the Lahman master.csv. That will complete the Spritzefication of the next release.
so in a very short time we see this new masterpiece.
Hopefully the patch that will fix the wrongly imported pitch selection for all these great pitcher of yesterday will soon to follow your DB.
Heaven waits for us all....
