Based upon real stats would be those where the real stats for a particular season are reduced so that, for example, a PCL guy who hit .325 with 25 homers would not be rated as a .325/25 guy in the majors. Intelligently made up are those where actual stats for subsequent years are used (to some degree) as the basis for previous (minor-league) seasons in order to come up with realistic minor-league-level stats & ratings.
Is the above true? Or in the ballpark?

True

- Player who plays most of his career in the minors but whose career includes a a short major-league career (perhaps a few full seasons, or perhaps just a cup of coffee) .

Real stats are always used where available. Available = 1871-1902 and 1940-1974. I have about 16,000 players yet to update with their real stats.

Hope these questions make sense. Thanks in advance .

This applies to all players in the db. If they are 'done" it means their Major,Minor,Japanese,Korean,Negro League, Cuban League, Mexican League etc Real stats have been located and entered and used to create player ratings. Obviously the more stats the greater the ratings accuracy.
