Just downloaded Arod/Garlon 2006 DB v2.1

And I don't really like the design decision to have Negro Leaguers coming into the bigs and pretending there was no segregation. Plus, there is the fact that Roy Campanella, Larry Doby, Luke Easter, Monte Irvin, Minnie Minoso, and Jackie Robinson don't enter the league when they are supposed to, but rather earlier.

So how do I go about delete the extra Negro Leaguers, plus get those players that did play in the majors debuting when they are supposed to?

OOTP2007 requires a few extra .csv files that we left out o ou DB last year. You need to copy/paste them over from the lahman DB:

allstar.csv
awardsplayers.csv
halloffame.csv
seriespost.csv

If you don't want the Negro leaguers to import you can either delete them from each of the master/batting/pitching/fielding csv files or simply delete thei debut year in the master csv file. A list of the Negro Leaguer player ids is in the readme file. If you just delete heir debut year, they wll not import in the yearly rookie drafts, however, upon an initial import of a league you should check th Free Agents list because any Negro leaguers whose playing careers were in progress in the year you start will still import...just delete them from the Free Agents list.

For guys like Jackie Robinson, you can change their debut year in the master csv file to have them impot when you want...however, they will still import with the extra stats we gave them back to age 21. So if you change Jackie Robinson to 1947, he will import as a rookie in 1947 but his player card will still show stats from 1941-1946, you could go in and delete those from the player recors in the other csv files too if you want.
