As promised, I have posted such minor league data as I have in coherent formats:

http://econweb.tamu.edu/turocy/minors

Currently, it's basically all levels of 1982, with AAA for 1981. I've got other leagues in process.

NOTE TO THOSE OF YOU LOOKING FOR A MINOR LEAGUE PLAYERS DATABASE: This isn't one. It's part of a minor league players database, in very raw form. It'll require a lot of care and feeding to become part of a proper database for OOTP. But, it does represent one (small) piece of the puzzle.

There have been a number of attempts at "projects" to try to gather this sort of data. All fizzle mightily, because, as Gambo notes, data entry, validation, and editing into a database is a huge task. Rather, by posting this page, I'm hoping simply to help organize what does exist already for other reasons (the data I'm working on is for another project -- if it becomes part of an expanded OOTP-targeted database or roster set, so much the better!). A more "open source" approach may succeed where more ambitious "projects" have failed.
