I've done several random db for my own use. If there is a preference toward one I could share. I don't have a "utility" which can be used as a product. I do each one manually (I tend to have unique parameters I will use).

Options
1) the Lahman, Gambo or Spritze DB?
2) Do you want them to span all seasons (e.g. 1871 - 2009), compressed into 100 years/80 years - this will also drive number of players arriving per year so that would be another way to look at it.
3) How many teams (I tend to have the initial pool set at 35 or 40 per team)?
4) Any start up constraints. (e.g. I tend to use PL, FL, UA players to fill out the initial roster.)

I do all the files so the db would support real-life or neutralized, recalc or normal development.
