I thought his OBP would be a little higher also.

That's the tricky part about signing GBC guys. Is his 8 eye almost a 9, a true 8, or almost 7? It's hard to gauge when they are facing lesser competition.
I didn't think ratings were relative to the league, just to the entire BBA universe?

They're not. But the pitching in the FL is a liiiittle bit better than that of the GBC.

Yeah. What I am saying is that the game itself uses a 1-250 rating while we use 1-10. So there could be something like a 25 point difference between two players who both have an 8 eye. It's sort of easy to spot the difference when both players play in the BBA, but the GBC has a lesser quality player pool. That's why Grun and others naturally put up higher stats in the GBC and makes it harder to judge exactly how a player will translate.
