What happens when you use the search feature for the players that are not showing up in the FA pool?
I'll pm Bigrod & Lukasberger to see if they can help.

I appreciate that, thank you so much!
When I use the search feature, the player will show up the way my Screen Shot #2 shows above with Mattingly. Does the same thing with a few other players like Frank Thomas, Boggs, Piazza and a handful of others
So far, I've successfully (according to the prompts I'm getting) imported 52 players, and 13 of them do not show up when I ask for a list of all players, although they do appear (as Mattingly does above) when I perform a search for them.
At first, I was manually importing each individual player, inputting the bbreference short name (I'd go to bbref and copy & paste the short name from the URL) and then the year (using the import historical player wizard).
Once I saw a thread about how to format the (player,year) info, I then started creating text files with the players short name followed by a comma and then the year. I'm doing this a few players at a time to see if all are being imported as they should.

Right now, here's what happens when I try to get a list of all the players I've imported:
When I go to the league menu and select "Player Info" ; "List All Players", the list is blank.
Then, when I check "include retired players", 39 of the 52 players show up.
Thirteen do not.
Then, when I click on "Free Agents", there are 13 players there...Of those 13 players, four of them are players that did not show up under "List All Players". The other nine do show up when I list all players. And, there are nine players who only show up when I do a search.
When I first noticed that Piazza did not show up on my list, I imported him again..and then tried it a third time. He never showed up on the list all players list or on the free agent list, but he does show up 3x when I do a search for him (see picture).
I think what I'll try to do later today is delete the players I have in there now, make one text file with all of them in there and re-import, and see if the same guys show up "missing".
