I know of two efforts which have been in the developmental stage. 1) Keith Olbermann has kept a list of these guys and has encourgaed his readers to submit additions along with documentation to verify that the player was actually with the big league club. If I recall correctly, he refers to his list as the Bill Sharman Society, naming it after the basketball HOFer who was with the Brooklyn Dodgers one September, but never became a full-fledged major leaguer. 2) I ran across such a database somewhere on Baseball-reference.com a few months ago. It was in a section which invited users who had created their own databases to submit them and allow others to add to such databases. I can't manage to get back to that database now, but perhaps someone else might have some success in poking around in Baseball-reference.com and finding it.
