2. Is it possible to create a player and then give him historical stats? Say I make Joe Shlabotnik as a free agent in 2014. Can I edit him to say that he played 45 games at first base for the Cubs last year?

1) Yes, absolutely....in the player editor (must be in Commish mode) put in his ABs/H/2B/3B/HR/BB/HBP/K and click either create current or potential ratings
Be sure to calculate his 3Bs by his 2B+3bs to get an accurate triple rating, or else his speed will determine his triples
I have a database where most players come into the league at 18...so I will make his current stats really weak, to make up for that I usually look at Baseball reference and make his potential one of his best overall seasons.
Sbs are not as accurate and I am not really sure how big of an effect baserunning skill has on extra base hits and Sbs...If a guy is in a modern setting and has 150 speed, 150 steal and 150 baserunning, he will usually steal 10-15 bases at a 75% clip
2) No you cannot give a new player fake history...only historical imports will have that. But you can create a player and give him his potential and fielding attributes. Just make sure you fix the injury rating...some guys come in with 160 ratings for all 4 areas
