Red Hoff shows up as Red 'Red' Hoff when nicknames are checked off. Kind of nitpicky, perhaps, but it seems redundant.

Also a lot of the pitchers seem to have contact potential that are really low despite pretty high power potential ratings (due to small sample sized minor league hitting numbers it seems). Not sure if this is a case of how BA potential is computed and if it's erring on the side of caution re: low Contact Potential?

Example #1: RP Joseph Kemis - kemis-001jos
IRL: Has 106 PA and hit .287/.352/.489 but with 5 Doubles and 4 HR

Yet he has a 13 Contact Potential against a 66 Power Potential?

Example #2: RP Russell Fritsch - fritsc001rus
IRL: Has just 71 PA but hits .313/.371/.531 with 4 Doubles, 2 Triples, and 2 HR

Yet he has a 6 Contact Potential vs. a 34 Gap/61 HR/36 Eye

I'm not advocating they get like 60-70 Contact potential or anything but even 20-25 or 25-30 would seem to be more realistic. Low enough that they don't become superstars but high enough that they could hit a little in 'No DH' leagues.

Instead I'm seeing a ton of SP/RP types with 1 Contact Potential or variations hewing closer to that number than say 20.
