There's nothing OOTP that says playyer X had a 1-year career so he will scrub out after 1 season in OOTP. Let's say we keep these guys in and there's some guy who hit .350 in the UA....he imports with a great contact rating and will be a dominant player against other real major leaguers when we know that shouldn't be the case. Of course I could modify the stats of all these players to look like majo league stats, but even then we'd still be flooding the major leagues with all these 1-year players. It's just not something we wanted to have with our DB.

You can get all of those guys straight out of the lahman DB of course.
Or, with the new game, set the Union Association to about .25 of what the major leagues at the time are at.
