I'm having problems importing Babe Ruth as a historic player in OOTP 24.

Problem 1: He's listed as a starting pitcher with a 0.5 star rating, even if he's imported from 1927. I assume two-way players being programmed into the game caused this problem. Manually changing his position to right field improves his star rating.

Problem 2: His hometown is listed as Murphy, Texas.

Problem 3: He kinda sucks! Importing with neutralized stats, 1923 Babe Ruth gets a projected statline of .238/.407/.613. For comparison, 1924 Rogers Hornsby gets a projected statline of .378/.471/.729. Ruth's contact rating is extremely low. The problem persists with Real and Neutralized stats. I want to make sure that the imported Babe Ruth is one of the best players in the game, particularly compared to other players imported from the 1920s.

Did some change to the historic stat conversions cause this problem? As far as I can tell, it's only an issue for Babe Ruth. I tested with Guy Hecker and John Ward, also two-way players, and their stats seemed to be converted correctly.

Edit: This gets even more confusing. If all of the free agents are deleted and I import Ruth, he's projected to bat .376, with a contact rating of 80/80. But if I important a list of 90 players simultaneously, Ruth is again batting .238 with a contact rating of 25/80. Then, if I delete all of those players and import Ruth, he still bats .238. I tested this with Rogers Hornsby, and he's projected to bat .425 when I upload him to an empty list of free agents. But he's projected to bat .371 if he's uploaded as part of a group of 90 players. So I suspect the game is somehow making adjustments to their internal stats, based on the quality of the league.
