One odd thing is, in my 1971 sim, both Bobby Tolan and Rico Carty missed the whole year due to injury. OOTP has them as free agents, I guess since they didn’t play. But their ratings are based on excellent 1970 seasons, so I didn’t have your problem. I toggled off “actual missed seasons” so each was available. I shamelessly signed Tolan for my Phillies, and he is having a solid year. Carty ended up with LA and is hitting well for a Dodger team that has trouble scoring runs.
Of note is that Thornton was in the Phillies minor league system in 1971. He hit a ton in AAA, classic “three true outcomes”.
