Frustration is setting in but I think now what I will do is to go ahead and start another league without the Spritze DB. I can manually draft Negro and other minor league players from the default MiLB DB and everything should be swell. Only thing missing will be some great Asian players from the past.
Use polessp00 for Spot Poles and mackebi00 for Biz Mackey. I think you'll like what you see. As I've said here and elsewhere, for some reason the game is barfing on the more complicated (non-standard Lahman form) player IDs, but if you can find the simpler (first five letters of last name, followed by first two letters of first name, followed by two digit numeric code) player ID, you're good as gold.
