Can league be created from imported historical career totals?

Hello all

I have an idea for an all time franchise league. On baseball reference, career registries are listed for each team. I would like to create teams based on those players who had the top 12 most plate appearances at each position for each franchise (then split into mlb/aaa/aa/a/r) but to have OOTP base the players on their career totals for each team.

For Example, could I create/import Barry Bonds for the Pirates and have his stats be based from the years 1986-1992 and also create/import Barry Bonds for the Giants and have his stats based off the years of 1993-2007 and then the game would create ratings for each Bonds, the Pirate and Giant based solely on how he performed for each team?

The tough thing about this game is trying to decide what universes to create as the options for it are infinite.

Thanks all

Well you can import Bonds in `1986 and with the editor set his potential to be based on his best stat numbers only between 1986-1992. (input the numbers and then put "create potential ratings based on stats"). That's probably how I would do this although I don't know if there's a faster way.
