Options
1) the Lahman, Gambo or Spritze DB?
2) Do you want them to span all seasons (e.g. 1871 - 2009), compressed into 100 years/80 years - this will also drive number of players arriving per year so that would be another way to look at it.
3) How many teams (I tend to have the initial pool set at 35 or 40 per team)?
4) Any start up constraints. (e.g. I tend to use PL, FL, UA players to fill out the initial roster.)

I do all the files so the db would support real-life or neutralized, recalc or normal development.
With my league, I have 12 teams(expanding every so often) with players set in the inaugural draft initially that would be outside of players coming in from the random debut. I then want to have 5 rounds worth of players for every amateur draft. Again though, that 5 rounds will be 60 players for the first couple years, and then more after every expansion. Preferably players starting from 1900 on. The league starts in 2009. Is this possible?
