Compressed History Random Debut DB v.1.0 (10-11-06) is available for download (see link in signature).

Based on Arod23/Garlon2006 Career Average DB

I thought I would do something a bit different with a random debut DB. Instead of randomly assigning debut years for all of history, I have compressed history to about 20 years. I have played with other random debut files, but always got frustrated waiting 50-70 years for a Ruth, Cobb, Williams, etc. to appear. And, the leagues were still so filled with average talent and few superstars (which I realize is normal).

So, I thought this DB would be a unique compromise between a league of only all-time greats and true historical play. You still have a draft class, you still have regular players filling up roster spots, but you have more than just a few legends playing at the same time.

The debut year of all players has been randomly assigned to the years 1900-1920. Import year is 1901 though, so the league begins with some veterans.
