Right because its not their rookie year according to the database. They are no longer rookies. For example Nolan Ryan's rookie year is 1966 so unless you start a league before 1966 he wont import as a rookie because he was NOT in the rookie class for any of the other years. Only 1966. So they really are not missing players. Plus you can always edit the database or use Gambo's database. You could change Ryans b-day to 1900 and edit his stats and have him import in 1925 but if you dont have stats for 1926 he will not import has a rookie in 1926. The players are imported from i beleive the first year that they have stats. Its really no big deal. Im sure historical players would have said something if we couldnt get Whitey Ford or Ryan into the game.
