If this would help a roster creator for next year 'round, I do have minor league stats for organized ball back to 1994, and indy back to 2000, in electronic form. I'm almost done with 2007 -- have to wait for the Atlantic and a couple OB leagues to close.
Drawbacks: Only the last 3 years' worth of OB data are keyed to any sort of ID system; everything else is raw. And, you'll have to do all the MLE calculations yourself. Also, I've only go biographical data on players who played in OB in 2007, but I assume that's all most roster creators would be needing.
