The current db assigns cup of coffee pitchers and other players to replacement player values. The version prior to the latest one did not. Actually it did but in the 1870's there were very few replacement players to compare to so it just didn't work all that well. For the first years of baseball it now gets its replacement values from the entire decade instead of the specific year. That makes the ratings OOTP comes up with more betterer.
