That's without any editing of his ratings. It seems like he and Oscar Charleston and a handful of other hitters have the right "hard coding" as you called it, but so many other players are ruined. I can't think of a single pitcher that has been successful.

Buck Leonard is another, as is Josh Gibson. But this is the thing, I have also seen plenty of problems with these guys, although you're right in saying they are generally more reliable than others.
I've just had Dick Redding reach 350 wins in my Bucs save and the other big pitchers from that era - Williams, Rogan, Foster, Mendez, Pedroso - have all done well. Satch and Ted Trent have just come in and are killing it.
But again, it's the inconsistency that kills me because I'll import them into another save and they'll tank.
So infuriating.
