If you can use the original Lahman then you would probably have very little trouble with either Ankit's database. All 3 are basically the same, the only difference is that they change a players' debut year and the career average db averages out the players career as opposed to the player having ratings based on his rookie season.
The only trouble would be duplicate players for the first couple of seasons and depending on how you are assigning players. If you are having an amateur draft each season then finding these duplicates is fairly simple, you would just need to display all players in the league and then sort the players based on name, looking for players that don't have a team listed (since those would be the imported players 95% of the time) and look to see if any players have the same name. If you are placing the players on their original teams then finding the duplicates is a little more time consuming. You could probably e-mail Ankit to see if he could provide you with a list a players that had their debut years changed.
