Yes. You can do all of this. I know because I have done all of this before. You can even use the real life transactions for that season.

You can manually edit players to your heart's content. As has already been mentioned, ratings, not stats, are the main driver for performance (and you can adjust a dampening effect that will mitigate the influence of small sample sizes. So don't worry about some September call-up who went 3-for-4 with a home run going and breaking Rogers Hornsby's and Barry Bonds's single-season records just because he hit .750/.750/1.750 in his short time in the bigs. Indeed, their ratings will probably be around replacement level but you can adjust them however you wish.
