Just so everyone knows what roster designers are up against. Within each player record in OOTP, you have almost 100 fields that require data. With seven levels to an MLB team's system, you have almost 200 players per organization. So to get a complete roster set, you need to enter almost 600,000 different data values. Add in stats lines for each player, and you're looking at well over a million values that need to be entered. Most of this can only be done manually, and much of it needs to be researched first, and since it's all being done by unpaid volunteers, I hope everyone can understand why there will be occasional issues here and there with the important players, and why a few minor leaguers in each system have 'generic' ratings. There is really no way to do any of it 'easily', unfortunately, without compromising on quality.

And one note on Linebrink - the 'bonus' a reliever gets in OOTP when used in relief isn't factored into the stats line projections in the Editor, so you'd expect him to perform better than his 4.68 forecasted ERA.
