Actually I believe I'm starting to get it.

I could create an historical league based on 2017 and include historical minor leaguers. I could then modify the teams in the league to reflect the teams and players in my old league. I would then have all the 2017 players and the league structure I am looking for. I could play this league in (real) 2018 stopping on the last World Series game day.

I would then have to wait for the historical file to get updated to 2018 and updated the historical file for my game. Once that's done I could advance to 2018 and the players would be recalculated.

Correct?

Another option I would have is a little more work but I believe would be doable.

I took the 2018 opening day file and modified it for my league structure and rosters. This file includes real amateurs for the draft. I play the season and roll over to 2019 when the season is complete.

After Spring Training I stop the advancement of MY LEAGUE until OOTP 20 gets released. At this point I export all rosters. I also export the complete roster file for OOTP. I match up the players in MY LEAGUE and with the players in OOTP 20. I look for any players in OOTP 20 who don't have a player match. I create fictional players in MY LEAGUE and match them to the players without a match in OOTP20. I then update the player file in MY LEAGUE with the ratings from OOTP 20. I reimport MY LEAGUE roster back into my game.

At that point I have OOTP 20 Opening Day ratings in MY LEAGUE.

When the Amateur Pool is released I following essentially the same process I did with my player file.

At that point I have OOTP 20 players in my league.

Does this make sense now?
