I tried using Spritze's with Version 9. It does have more players (career minor leaguers and Nippon League) than Gambo's, but for me the deal breaker was that when you use the 'import historical rookies' option, Spritze's imports the players to the team for which they played the most seasons, whilst Gambo's imports them to the team with whom they started their minor league careers. Spritze kindly explained his reasons for doing it his way, but his reasons are not mine, and they essentially make his db useless to me. If you're not using 'import historical rookies', and not importing the complete history, Spritze's would probably be superior.

Yes, you can, and yes, he does. I did a complete history to 1962 last night, and it took about 2 1/2 hours to complete. Please note that it gave the appearance of 'hanging for about twenty minutes before the progress bar kicked in. I recommend you kick it into gear, then go find something else to do for quite awhile.

My experience with the modders is that Spritze responds quickly to questions/problems with his db.
