Player Corrections

Several corrections have been identified by owners. The first one is extremely widespread but relatively minor. Over 1/2 the pitchers in the database have minor intentional walk errors. 99% of these are minor and will not impact game play - one to five intentional walks in either direction.

Frankly, I have no explanation as to why this occurred though. I can't wrap my arms around the fact that 80 pitchers in ATB XIII have no stat errors other than this quirky IBB issue. A few possibilities come to mind:

• I typed them in all wrong. I have a difficult time believing this. Not because of the volume of errors, but the fact they were only on IBBs makes this implausible.
• There was a migration error when upgrading the software to DMB 10. Also unlikely since I have heard no complaints on the forums.
• Baseball reference changed their IBB stats in the past few years and I never noticed.

I am not going to list all 85 pitcher updates. But there were a few fairly significant ones I should mention:

1972 Jim Brewer: was 3, now 11

2002 Chris Hammond, was 3, now 9

1995 Hideo Nomo, was 9, now 2

1971 Vida Blue, was 10, now 3

A few other errors have been spotted as well:

1888 Buck Ewing loses a triple, now at 15

1890 Joe Neales loses 73 BPF, now at 276

1946 Aaron Robinson now has 330 AB's, losing 51

1971 Wilbur Wood loses 9 BPF, now at 1316

1983 Kent Tekulve loses 100 BPF, now at 398

2000 Mike Myers loses 117 BPF, now at 177

2007 Andy Petttitte loses 71 BPF, now at 916
