I didn't include any 2016 seasons since as I understand it, 2015 is the last historical season that OOTP17 has in its database. Importing a 2016 player would essentially import the player as he was projected to play prior to 2016, whereas a 2015 player's ratings would be grounded in his actual 2015 performance. At least that's how I thought of it, but again I'm new to the game so I might be making some faulty assumptions. When OOTP18 comes out I'm going to do an update that adds in 2016 seasons and Baez will definitely be part of that. As for Zobrist, he is with TBR6 since the Rays were his signature team and he had his best years with them. Chapman is with CIN6 for the same reason.
As of now Miller is with NYY6 for his 2015 year. Your asking about Miller reminded me of something I forgot to mention though, which is that I ignored multi-team seasons, mostly because my spreadsheet wasn't really conducive to mucking around with them. But again, in general I'm looking for a player's best season with his best team, and I figure it's going to be relatively uncommon that a partial season fits that bill.
As for full minor leagues, I decided to follow the lead of the default all-timers quickstart and forgo them in favor of a reserve roster only. I actually I haven't messed around with MiLB at all yet so it'd be well beyond my capabilities to set it up on this scale. Besides, basically every useful player in the history of MLB is already present and accounted for here, so if we stuck with historical guys for the minors it would be almost entirely scrubs, although I guess that's not so different from the real minors. I did enable the amateur draft and international/indy free agents so multi-year GMs will hopefully be able to fill roster holes that open up that way.
