Gambo Ankit 3.5 Finished

[Gambo]

I may have missed that one he-he. There may be a few others too. At least he'll import with the Expos as rookie.

If you catch anymore tell me.

I noticed two more from my '79 league. I don't have their Lahman IDs or all the years affected right now...

I was checking for duplicate names and two of the guys are on the wrong team. Both are minor leaguers.

One of them is a Mike Hart, who is on Montreal and should be on Texas. (http://www.baseball-reference.com/h/hartmi01.shtml)

The other is one of the Pat Kelly's. (http://www.baseball-reference.com/k/kellypa02.shtml)
He was on California and should be on Toronto.

As for the the Gambo v Ankit superiority question, there really is no way to answer that. This project is a culmunation of lots of work and by both of us. 3,5 is essentially just an edited version of Ankit's Career Average DB with the following things added back in
1. Everyplayer
2. Miinor league seasons based on Career Averages (players import the year of their professional debut)
3. Years which players missed
Just as essentially Ankit's is an edited version of the Lahman DB.

It really all just comes down to what your tastes are. If you want alot of "real" players in your league (many of which you've never heard of) use mine but if your focus is on a smaller scale use Ankits. Basically for 80% of your players there will be little or difference between the two beyond the year the player imports and at what level he does.

Thanks for the response...and thanks for the doing this database.
