Using roster files like this is pretty easy. Download the file and unzip it. Inside you'll find a folder that in this case is named MLB_v30.lg. Just copy that folder and paste it into the saved games folder, which is in "my documents>Sports Interactive>OOTP Baseball 2007". Then just start OOTP and load the saved game.
I'll leave it up to NomarHits400 to recommend if you should use this roster set now, given the issues we're exploring, or wait until he releases the next version.

I was able to effect a change on batting and pitching ratings using the aging modifiers- however, a bigger problem- and one I am currently stumped on and really have no idea at the moment how to fix is the fielding ratings. I am seeing players fielding range drop precipitously in just a year or two. For example, Andruw Jones- who has a range rating of 90 (out of 100) in Center- is diwn to a 2 after just three years....This is ridiculous- but I have no idea what is going on.
I agree this was picked up on along the way somehow- I don't remember Cubby's roster's having this problem. The interesting thing is it seems to only effect current major leaguers- so I don't think the problem persists after they are gone. The problem is- they are literally almost all out of the game in 5-7 years. What's worse is I believe if you leave the aging modifiers such that the MLB guys hang around- they will need to be changed again to keep from computer gnerated players from hanging around much longet than they should.
Since the whole point of these rosters was to begin initially with real MLB palyers- I wouldn't reccomend using this set. I find this very frustrating- I have no idea how many hours I have on this already....Right now I am perplexed on how to proceed. I am not giving up- however- maybe something will come to me.
Redsoxford- if you are still checking around in here- let me know if you have any ideas....
