creating a "true" rookie database... - Page 2

Sorry I've been out of the loop a bit...
it's still in the works...I am ~20% done...

here is an update/progress report on what's going on...
I am currently going through every register I can get my hands on and have finished ~3 of them and then some (sounds bad but it's quicker than it seems once I got started)...I got slowed down by inputting biographical data for guys since 1988 who weren't included

I set up some rules which I have been following...

1.I am going by the year they were signed or drafted and signed...the problem with this might be if a player signed in December 1988 he is a rookie in 88 (for the most part my sanity, and in custom/draft leagues, I have my reasons)...

2.Independent Teams/Mexican/Japan leagues are omitted right now (they must be signed with a Major League Organization),this effect a couple of players but only drastically for the Japanese players

3.As a stem off of rule #2...any player before 1903 (since 1902 is when the minor leagues became affiliated at all) are rookies with their first team in the year they joined the majors

Currently i'm fixing up all players before 1902...should be done quickly...

When I feel I have enough done I will release a 1st version of the database, this will hopefully have most if not all of the players since 1965 (the 1st year of the draft) and I'll figure out a rudimentary formula for anybody else before hand...

I'm getting a good hour or two of work a day on the database and it's coming along quite well I think...

currently the count is 3591 of 15610 (23%)...
2544 of 5682 (45%) of players who debut after 1965

I'll give posts with updates...

Well a quick update...it seems that the 2001 register I was working on is missing a few players (they say everyplayer)..

2000- Keith Johnson,Yovanny Lara,Greg Larocca,Mike Mahoney,David Moraga,Willie Morales,Steve Sisco,Matt Skrmetta,Pedro Swann

9 players were not listed in the book...might take some work to get their info...

(Progress - 5523/15610 - 35% & 3057/5682 - 53%)
