So there actually is a formula that "players who started/ended their careers x amount of years before start date do not get their minors history imported", is that it?

Are there options on this? Because I rather like being able to compare what Ted Williams and Willie Mays hit at Minneapolis, regardless of what year my game is set in.

And if it is WAD, then at least it's good to know it's not a bug, I guess. But I'd like to lobby to change this in v.18, though.

Small database error: minor league OF Raymond Hunnicutt (hunnic000ray) has a duplicate. The 2nd version has no Minor League ID nor any stats, but as both of them are already retired heading into 2016, it's a minor (pardon the pun) issue, anyway.

ETA: We also seem to have a second Joe Davenport listed. This breaks down differently, though; one Joe has both the Historic ID and Historic Minors ID, as well as the proper birthdate (3/24/76) and the majors stats, while the other is a complete blank slate with no IDs and no stats, and with the birthdate wrongly listed as "3/24/77". Neither Joe has his minors stats, despite being far too contemporary to have shed them.
