Jah mentioned retrosheet.org. That's a great resource, and the one that I use. As you can imagine, making roster moves on the exact day that they ocurred in real life gets pretty tedious. Of course, to each his own, but what I do is this:
1) By the time the World Series begins, I will have made all my txns thru the end of that Sept. When the Series ends, I sim through the end of the calendar year and at that time make all of the Oct-Dec txns.
2) Then I sim to beginning of the pre-season (usually mid-Feb) and I make all of the Jan-March txns.
3) Then I sim through Spring Training and up to Opening Day. At that point I make all of the txns thru the end of May 15th.
4) At that point I sim through the season, pausing at 2 or 3 intervals - maybe June 15th, July 15th, and Aug 15th, to catch up on txns through end of June, end of July, and end of season.
I'm still doing the same amount of tedious player moves, but by cramming all of the tediousness into a few blocks, it makes for longer periods of blissful simming... or someting like that... Of course, if you're into some serious transaction accuracy, this wouldn't be ideal. Just a suggestion, though.
And - as mentioned above - you need to remember to turn off Enable Trading before you sim through the next period. Trying to cleaning up/undo unintended AI trades is no fun.
