As to Gibson being absent from the database, I had that problem with a few Negro Leaguers in my 1938 simulation. I researched it, and found that they were playing overseas that year. Since they were no active in the Negro Leagues, OOTP did not include them in that season (since the database only includes Negro League stats, just as it does not include Winter Leagues for MLB players or barnstorming). I had to create those players based on prior stats, and what I could find from their games in the Caribbean.
