Decided to go with the clear-all-free-agents then load player by player and do the draft. Seems the easiest way to get the players in. That web site was a wonderful pointer. Ah, this modern internet stuf. Sure makes it go a lot more quickly than the old leafing through the book method. Thank you, Al Gore! What a great invention!

However, after I've loaded the teams, I'm going to save out the rosters and see if it is, indeed, possible to load in teams the way I'd originally intended. One major problem is the leftover code in spreadsheet programs that seems to limit number of rows not to memory, but to some hard-coded number (65K). So I can't load the big file of stats into the spreadsheet program, thus probably making it impossible to do what I'd wanted without some coding of my own, which I'm too tired to attempt.

The last problem I may run into would be with ages. I hope the game adjusts the ages to match the year I choose for the player. Plan to use a starting date of 1 Apr 2011, so I hope those guys from the 1890s won't show up as over 100 years old!
