Also, I don't know for sure because I don't have iOOTP (obviously) but it's entirely possible that you're not getting the entire Lahman database but the OOTP ratings only. This would make a great deal of sense, as Lahman is pretty huge and has lots of info that OOTP doesn't use. So the fact that the developers got their research from Lahman is about as immaterial in this case as saying that the makers of DMB get the info for their season disks from bbref or wherever. In the end, you're not getting access to the website, you're getting ratings based on stats from that website.
It sounds like it might not be a perfect fit either but it sounds like a start, and the game after all is not (quite) OOTP.

I'm just trying to understand what iOOTP offers from a historical gaming viewpoint and if it meets what I'm looking for. I don't think, but I could be wrong, that this particular question has been asked or addressed.

This game is new to everyone. I'd be lying to you if I said "yes, this is what you want." Fact is, we just don't know, and I say this as a big a fan of OOTP as there is. I'll say that if you have a regular non-iOS computer, you might want to buy the normal game to get an idea of what you might be getting into.
