Yep, received the file from jackflash today, but for some reason all the names are in chinese.......ok only kidding there.

I should have some time to take the data he has worked so diligently on, with some help from Gary, and get it back into the game, finish moving around some guys, add in the draft picks from last year and have something out. Still a bit of a task left for me to do, but I think we are almost there for the first release, no thanks to Baseball America for not putting the Opening Day rosters on their site this year. First file will not come with the colleges or any foreign leagues

Here is what is expected from the first release. Players in the correct organization and expected to be at the right level from opening day. All career stats for the players for US major and minor leagues(well probably 98%).

Items to be added still salaries and real coaches are not there yet, but will be added. I can release early without the salaries and then re-release with the salaries and that will probably save a couple of days for the initial version.

Also still need to go in and update the service time. I know that a couple of people had been working on that and if they still are please contact me.

Will continue to give you more information as it comes available.
