Interesting. I imported the 1913 season with historical minors. Then I simmed to 1920. Leonard made his starts for Boston from 1913-1918. He then made his starts for Detroit in 1919. So, no problems that I could see. Ruth also looked fine. However, Mule Watson didn't make any starts for PHA in 1918. He shows up in the as played lineups file in 1918. So, what happened in the sim? He has no appearances at the major or minor league level in 1918.

Oh, now I see what happened. On 6/21/19, the AI signed him to a minor league contract with the Beaumont Oilers in the Texas League. That probably means he left the PHA organization (thanks to the AI). I guess that prevented him from being "called up" to make his starts for PHA in 1918 (the first of which happened on 7/4/18 in real life). The problem is that the AI is not supposed to make trades, releases, or FA signings. Not on its own. The historical transaction file is supposed to dictate what the AI does. This is a recent (known) problem that hasn't been addressed yet.
