OK, I've installed the game. I set up 2 16-team leagues in a fictional league setup with an inaugural draft. Now, how do I get the players that I want (from historical years) onto the teams of this league? I see only .dat files (binary) and no .csv files anywhere, except for the Lahman DB directory, which isn't used for this fictional league, apparently. It created its own set of fictional players.
So, I'm still wondering how I can populate these 32 teams with players and years selected from the Lahman database. I'll even go through the whole draft process in-game if necessary, but I'd really like to get the players out of the database, rather than going thru player by player with my BB Encyclopedia as a reference to put in all the stats for the year I want, changing each fictional player by hand into the one I want with the year I want. There has to be a way to import all this stuf into the game automagically from a subset of the Lahman DB, yes?
As an example, here's what I'd like for the New York team:
Roger Bresnahan & Wilbert Robinson -- C
Lou Gehrig -- 1B
Champ Summers -- 1B/OF
Bobby Richardson & Willie Randolph-- 2B
Derrel Thomas & Billy Rogell -- UT
Honus Wagner -- SS
John McGraw -- 3B
Hector Lopez -- 3B/OF
Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker, Babe Ruth, Jay Johnstone -- OF
PITCHERS: Grover Cleveland Alexander, Amos Rusie, Tommy John, Mel Stottlemyre, Joe Benz, Wild Bill Donovan, Jakie May, Hal Reniff, Ray Narleski, Sparky Lyle
And 15 others to fill out the 40 man protected roster, going into the AAA minor league team to start the season: Grover Hartley, Chris Chambliss, Phil Gagliano, Gil McDougald, Roy White, Aldolfo Phillips, Johnny Blanchard, Rick Wise, Rick Waits, Bill Stafford, Todd Stottlemyre, Jim Scott, Roy Parmelee, Dolf Luque, Mac Scarce.
Thanx for any help and sorry for the long posts.
