Have any of your started career leagues using the Career AVG Ankit Database?

You can't really use career average DB's to start a replay or to import players midway into their careers. Career Average db's only have each players' rookie season of stats so they will only import with stats from that given year. Ankit's DB is a little bit different that it just has each player's career average seasonal stats repeated for each season, so if you were to import Ty Cobb for the 1920 season he would have 14 seasons' of identical stats. The regular Ankit DB is basically identical to the original Lahman except that players debut when they started playing regularly so Joe Nuxhall debuts in 1952 opposed to 1944.

Also, another question: Does Ankit's db do a better job regarding pitchers coming in as starters? In the Lahman version, I always had a huge problem catching some of the guys like, say Steve Carlton, who would come in as a MR and I might not catch them until later in their careers.

Yes it corrects this problem, so far I haven't came across a player who was a MR but should of been a SP, this was a big problem with the original Lahman since in most instances players' careers began out of the bullpen. It also imports players as closers if they did so for most of their career, not sure if Lahman assigns any players to the closer role.
