Any help is appreciated.
Yes, you would need to export the necessary data first. Be very careful you don't get the Player and Team IDs mixed up. Make a backup of your saved game first!!! It's very easy to make mistakes when you edit these files. I'd also recommend you make copies of the original txt files you export before you edit them as well. That way you can just reimport them if things don't go well.

To change the player names in that league, export it's roster. Change the names, ratings and anything else you want and reimport. Make note of the team and player ID#s. You'll need those for the stats part as the stats files don't have player or team names only ID #s If I remember correctly.
Now open the batting, fielding and stats files you exported and make your changes/additions and reimport.
If your copying all the info from one league to another, make sure they have the same # of teams and players on each team. Again, don't change any Player or team ID#s.

Hope this helps
