As for others, I'm not sure who else I'd like to import at the moment, in terms of possible Negro or Minor League-type historical players at the moment, at least, I think. As I said, I'd like to import them when they are early in their careers, at least in terms of their likely ages, if possible. Please advise as soon as possible. Thank you for your help so far.

As mitchkenn indicated above, Bill Foster's ID is foster049wil. He will come in as Willie Foster, but trust us, that is the guy you're looking for because Willie Foster (as he is known in this database for some reason) was born on June 12, 1904 in Calvert, TX. I highly doubt that there are two William Fosters who wound up playing baseball who were born in Calvert, TX on June 12, 1904, so that's your man. You want to bring him in in 1922 because the draft is always the year before the debut, and he debuted in 1923. Jose Mendez' ID is mendez049jos. You want to bring him in in 1906 because he debuted in 1907. Make sure you follow my other instructions above, or the import will not work.
