the only way i know, well, is a lot of work. by going through the .csv files, year by year, creating a text file and importing the players to either the draft pool or Free Agency (i put them in the draft pool.). i also just use the minor league .csv so i don't get duplicate names - probably missing a few that never played in minors ... but it's easier than trying to go through the lists and editing out duplicate player names.
but that way i can import real minor/major leaguers into my fictional world.

but i don't know of an easier way to do this. my method is lots of editing and typing, probably more time creating the lists than playing the game. not what your looking for i realize, but i thought i'd share at least one way it could be done ... i do have a small write up somewhere on my computer on how i do it, if you're ever interested.

good luck and hope someone has a quicker way and shares it.
