Couldn't you just add in the projected seasons of the players into the Lahman database and import 2007?
For example, you would find the player's name in the database (Baseball Reference would help at finding the Lahman names), say Chris Duffy:
Code:
"duffych01",2006,1,"PIT","NL",84,314,46,80,14,3,2,18,26,1,19,71,1,10,4,1,1
That would be his stat line from last year. If you wanted Duffy to import as someone who would hit .400 with a bunch of walks and 50/50 potential this year:
Code:
"duffych01",2007,1,"PIT","NL",160,600,120,240,25,5,50,125,50,5,100,100,1,10,4,1,1
Obviously you wouldn't, but you get the idea. The game would convert the stats to the proper ratings and voila, 2007 rosters.
Although, if you were going to do that, you might want to edit the database in a spreadsheet program instead of messing with the raw text. That would probably help you make sure you get your data in the right fields without constantly looking at Baseball Reference for guidance.
