Anyone have master.csv info

[landru22]

I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I have been in the process of creating my own database for my former DMB fictional league. I need info on the master.csv files fields. What are the fields after "bbrefID - ID used by Baseball Reference website". I searched this site in many different ways and can't find the answer. It looks like it may contain ratings of some kind but I'm not sure.

Thanks

I think this is what he is looking for. The OOTP11 files don't have hearder rows. This is from OOTPX. I don't think it changed to 11. These are not Baseball Reference website or Lahman fields but OOTP unique fields.

Thanks BristolDuke. That is exactly the info I was looking for! Now I just have to figure out how to fill those fields. For example, do you know what the parameters are for figuring out DraftValue?

Thanks again for your reply

How that data is derived is not known by us mere mortals. I too would be curious.
