It comes with fictional (or rather, fictionalized) players. I say fictionalized because, gee, wouldn't you know it? Colorado has this
really good first baseman who's signed long-term at a staggeringly high cost and, golly, his stats are just like Todd Helton's! And my word, that elderly but unbelievably productive slugger in left field for San Francisco certainly reminds me of someone. It's on the tip of my tongue...
You get the idea. Real stats, fake names. However, you do need to download a third-party roster; sadly, though, I couldn't tell you which 2005 roster is the best. If you wanted to start with '04 rosters, that'd be another matter.

-With OOTP7 coming out this fall, would I be better off to wait till then and just buy a console baseball game now to tide me over?

I'd say buy OOTP 6. It's dirt-cheap and has a ton of life in it-- I bought it when it first came out and will be playing it at least until OOTP7 arrives, and maybe longer. OOTP7, as the first version written with the all-new code base, interface, etc. will doubtless have a ton of problems to smooth out-- especially given its very ambitious scope. Worst come to worst, then, you'll have OOTP6 to fall back on if OOTP7 fails to hold your interest. If OOTP7 blows you away, great. You'll have gotten six, seven months of baseball excellence for a low, low price.

I apologize if these question have been answered before in this forum. I did a search, though, and couldn't find anything, so I figured I'd ask. Thanks!

They have indeed been asked and answered before, but hey, no worries.
