I am looking forward to your database. It appears you are tackling quite a number of the things that are a little off with Lahman.

I'm curious how you intend to handle fielders who have only a couple of appearances at a position in a season. OOTP tends to play these players in odd positions through their career if they have a rating based on even limited appearances. Full time SS in my current 2001 league include Tony Womack, Kelly Gruber, and Matt Williams. The best 2B is Nomar Garciaparra, who played one game there in his career. Chris James is the starting 3b for the Marlins and Houston's backup C is Richard Hidalgo. I know that the database will only go part of the way to solving this problem, but if you aren't already planning on doing it, may I sugest eliminating fielding positions where a player played in only a minimal number of games.

Thanks for your work.
