This has been attempted by other people in the past. The way the financial DB looks is not the result of laziness, but is designed to mesh with the way the financial model works in OOTP. The fact is that the financial model does not account for all the expenses involved in running a team and a ballpark, so it is not possible to use actual salaries levels and the like from the past and have results work out in a reasonable way. The financial DB in OOTP10 is a marked improvement over OOTP9, as far as getting the salary levels much closer to what they actually were. I'd advise getting comfortable with that rather than trying to build your own. Tweaking is OK -- I've done it myself -- but you need to understand what's going on with the model.
