Thankfully, these free agent cases are relatively few when you're initially starting a saved game. Usually the players are inconsequential because their real-life stats were bad, both before and after they missed seasons, so their ratings are usually low, and no one ever signs them. But every now and then, you can have a weird case like Andre Thornton, where ratings are wrecked when they shouldn't be.

On top of this, when using real minors, there are bizarre cases where a new rookie is imported with Hall of Fame current ratings, all based on limited action in rookie A ball. A great example is Doug Potestio when he's imported in 1980. His real-life stats were excellent in class A but weren't properly adjusted for their league level, so his current ratings are calculated as if he should immediately be the next Walter Johnson in MLB.

I wrote about this elsewhere, and I've reported some examples to OOTP Developments, so hopefully they'll figure out why these happens in race instances. But I've had to delete players like this from my saved games because they are so insanely overrated.
