You can't import them that I know of, but I think there's a way around it. I've not tried this yet so it's up to you to figure it out.
Make a copy of the master.csv first.
Add the players and your edits to the master.csv and assign them lahman or bbrefids and player ids...I'd start the player ids at 50000 to insure not to have any duplicate ids.
At the same time copy the players lahman or bbref ids and the year to a text file like this:
aardsda01,2009
aaronha01,1959
abreubo01,2000
adamsba01,1920
Save the master.csv.
Save the .txt file to your stats folder or any folder you want.
Now set up your draft to be from the free agent pool.
Using the historical player import feature, set the option to import from your text file and send the players directly to the free agent pool,
Since you set your draft to come from the free agent pool..your edited players should be drafted..
Again, I've not tried it, but using my limited common sense and the way ootp works, it should work.
Maybe some others with more knowledge than I will post their thoughts as to whether this will work or not..
