Here are my questions:

1) What does the quickstart do?
You mean, what does "a" quickstart do? It's merely a fancy saved game that someone, developer or modder, has created and provided for quick and easy game start. You never used a quickstart in five years? It's the same as previous versions.

2) What does New Major League Game do?
It's a quickstart that comes with OOTP 8, based on real MLB rosters from the beginning of 2007. Most impressive is the baseball history included.

3) Is the Lahman database part of the new game, or do I have to download it, or use my old Lahman db already on my computer?
Yes, it comes with the full installation download of OOTP 8. As I said to somebody else recently, you will be able to install newer versions of Lahman by downloading them and copying the files into your data/stats folder.

4) Finally, do the 2007 rosters come with each team's minors with real players?
Yes, I believe so based on my look at the Yankees minor league system. I saw some familiar names; some of the others could be fictional, however.

Thanks

Enjoy the game.
