Thanks for trying to do this. I think we've been on threads together before talking about the challenges caused by the dead weight of the old naming conventions - my fg folder is as big as yours. You mention talking to the developers on how to better handle these and I agree that's vital.

I've started Excel exports of the players, tagged how many are missing, how many are poor, how many are fine, how many are great and how many are mine (I keep those - about 3,500 to 4,000 - in a separate folder to copy over reloads of projects like this).

I assume the pack will have only the Minor League IDs and when none, the Major League IDs to reduce file count?

Lastly, how can others help? I trust you will be the QA/QC to determine if offers of help are taken up and their submitted work make the pack. As one that tries to help, trust me, none of us will be offended if we try and it doesn't make it - I just think a lot of us are of similar mind and would be willing to have their few a day contribute to this ambitious goal.
