The neutralized DB prorates his real-life stats. So, when OOTP uses the neutralized DB to rate Foster, it bases the ratings on these stats:

1967: 44G, 29 GS, 205.2 IP, 2.16 ERA
1968: 43G, 30 GS, 204.2 IP, 1.72 ERA

Well, this is not at all how the neutralized db would rate Mr. Foster. 40 ip is the min so only about 25 innings of replacement Foster would be added to his RL stats. Then OOTP would rate him based on those totals. Replacement Fosters 25 innings would either consist of stats based on his career or if they were to few then stats based on a replacement level pitcher in 1967 and 1968 would be used.
