Cal Corum 4e9e8d351d CLAUDE: Add Retrosheet CSV transformer and fix data processing issues
This commit adds support for the new Retrosheet CSV format and resolves
multiple data processing issues in retrosheet_data.py.

New Features:
- Created retrosheet_transformer.py with smart caching system
  - Transforms new Retrosheet CSV format to legacy format
  - Checks file timestamps to avoid redundant transformations
  - Caches normalized data for instant subsequent loads (~5s → <1s)
  - Handles column mapping: gid→game_id, bathand→batter_hand, etc.
  - Derives event_type from multiple boolean columns
  - Converts handedness values R/L → r/l
  - Explicitly sets string dtypes for hit_val, hit_location, batted_ball_type

Configuration Updates:
- Updated retrosheet_data.py for 2005 season data
  - START_DATE: 19980301 → 20050403 (2005 Opening Day)
  - END_DATE: 19980430 → 20051002 (2005 Regular Season End)
  - SEASON_PCT: 28/162 → 162/162 (full season)
  - MIN_PA_VL/VR: 20/40 → 50/75 (full season minimums)
  - CARDSET_ID: Updated for 2005 cardsets
  - EVENTS_FILENAME: Updated to use retrosheets_events_2005.csv

Bug Fixes:
1. Multi-team player duplicates
   - Players traded during season had duplicate rows (one per team + combined)
   - Added filtering to keep only combined totals (2TM, 3TM, etc.)
   - Prevents duplicate key_bbref values in ratings dataframes

2. Column name conflicts
   - Fixed Tm column conflict when merging periph_stats and defense_p
   - Drop duplicate Tm from defense data before merge

3. Pitcher rating calculations (pitchers/calcs_pitcher.py)
   - Fixed "truth value is ambiguous" error in min() comparisons
   - Explicitly convert pandas values to float before min() operations

4. Dictionary column corruption in ratings
   - Fixed ratings_vL and ratings_vR corruption during DataFrame merges
   - Only merge specific columns (key_bbref, player_id, card_id) instead of full DataFrame
   - Removed unnecessary .set_index() calls from post_batting_cards() and post_pitching_cards()

Documentation:
- Updated CLAUDE.md with comprehensive troubleshooting section
- Added Retrosheet transformation documentation
- Documented defense CSV requirements and column naming
- Added configuration checklist for retrosheet_data.py
- Documented common issues: multi-team players, dictionary corruption, string types
