Intelligent assessment of potential and actual abilities of players imported from Lahman. I don't want a hitter who went 6 for 18 in his only stint to be rated the same as a hitter who went 3 for 9 in his rookie season but was 1000 for 3000 in his career. Same for pitchers.

Summary:
Instead of having the current option of Adjust hitters with less than X at-bats (in THE IMPORTED SEASON), make it an option that is:

Adjust Hitters with less than X AB in their CAREER
Adjust Pitchers with less than X IP in their CAREER
Make Bad Hitters with less than X AB in their CAREER
Make Bad Pitchers with less than X IP in their CAREER

The "X" should be adjustable by the user.

Also, allow players who can hit and pitch to be able to do so automatically.

These should help a lot in making DBs more usable with OOTP.

Another thought, what about reading and importing ballpark info from a txt/csv file? I think we can create that file so that each year, the game can read that file and assign the appropriate ballpark, dimensions, seats, and park factors to the relevant team. We can work out the details if you are interested.
