While both the Lahman and Ankit databases are really fine...I always had to do a lot of editing players ratings to get them somewhat accurate.

Range, arm, speed ratings had to be edited on the defensive side...pitchers groundball percentages seemed to be random...and pitchers batting ratings really were way off...if strikeouts while batting were not kept by the league...the databases give that player a "10" rating...because in the database it said the player had "0" strikeouts.

I prefer Ankit's Career Average Database...I have to do fewer edits...and also you get a player imported in his first productive season and his correct position.
