Since he was actually in the Eastern League at the time, that's not a terrible result, as long as he continues to develop. He's not supposed to be Lou Gehrig when he's 17.

So we have players in the minor league database who weren't actually in a playable minor league at the time. I have a potential solution. Players don't enter the game until the year that they are actually on the roster in a playable league. It seems like that would solve David's problem of an empty PCL (because then they'd debut in 1921 with the correct teams), and it would also solve the Lou Gehrig problem, because he'd debut in 1923 with the Yankees from the major league database as he always did.
