Thank you for all your hard work!

One problem I always have with setting up OOTP seasons is that normally the free agent pool typically has guys who are in reality out for the coming season due to injuries or playing out of the country or actually retired. In lots of cases my AI GMs will sign some free agents who probably will not play that year.

The task of fixing this common problem is vast due to the large number of free agents and due to the time tracking down the real status of the players in question. What I have tried to do is check guys with 2 or more current stars ratings with no record of playing anywhere the previous year who are placed on major league rosters by the AI GMs. If injured, I edit the guy to reflect that. If out of the country, I edit the guy to be "injured" for the upcoming season. If retired, I retire the fellow.

Good luck on your project. It really appears to be a labor of love to the community.
