Was your clone Ruth set up to be a SP and OF both? I recall threads where the AI did not know how to handle a two-way player in 1919, and Ruth suffered because of that.

Ruth's path was unique. He started young; but that was as a SP. He pitched several years before regularly playing the field. If the clone reflects that history, it might well confuse the Ai.

Of note, I am playing a 1915 sim where young Babe walked across the street from the minor league Orioles to the Federal League Terrapins. He is relatively highly rated as a SP and as an OF, considering his young age. But I have not played far enough into the season to have any real results to report. No HR yet.
The game automatically had him as a pitcher and he has been a DH his entire "career". I forgot about the pitching aspect when I set this up, so I may redo and take away his pitching ability if I can.
