Hi all,

I know there are some great roster db's out there for historical simming. They work fine, but has anyone thought of putting together a draft class db? As it sits, with historical sims you get players major league debut year, which can make it pretty tough to sim historically (I guess it would be semi-historically) with minor leagues, as all players in the DB reached the majors and draft classes are much smaller than in real life. Has anyone considered a db with players entering the ammy draft the actual year they did, and comprise the db of prospects from that years draft rather than that years MLB rookie class? I don't know what draft class data is readily available as the major league draft is quiet at best when compared to other sports, but I think it would be fun to play with draft class data rather than rookie data. Any thoughts?
