If you want current rosters with minor leagues you probably want a roster set put together by someone rather than a database. The Halofan roster set is a popular one. It and others (or links to them or links to places with them) can be found in the Mods forum, though it may take a bit of searching. Anyway you basically just download the files and put them into your OOTP6 folder. I think there's an all-in-one installer eriqjaffe put together that has current rosters, graphics, etc., though I'm not sure exactly how it works. Someone else may be able to give you more specific help. I may not be too useful on this since I pretty much only play fictional.

There are other databases designed to do slightly different things. Ankit's is one well-known one. To use the databases you choose the Create Historical League option. The game will pull the info needed to make the league from those csv files for whatever year you specify.
