Texas League, 1927, for example, would include all 8 teams; not just the two teams that were affiliated with MLB, correct? YES ). Assuming this is true, would these unaffiliated teams be filled with career minor-leaguers and other free agents, and not necessarily those who actually played on those MiLB teams IRL? Or?
Perhaps - or perhaps not - another way to ask the same question: If I start a historical league in 1927, with historical minors, what players would appear on the unaffiliated Texas League teams such as the Dallas Steers, San Antonio Bears, Shreveport Sports, and Wichita Falls Spudders? The real ones in the first year
the Dodgers' AAA team simply "becomes" Albuquerque and if the OOTP engine/AI sees fit to put Paciorek in Triple A, he'll remain on the AAA roster, which is now Albuquerque instead of Spokane. Correct? yes
Yet another question: By 1936 there were a whopping 24 separate minor leagues with at least a team or two with an MLB affiliate, and the Cardinals pretty much had a team in every league. So, assuming most of these leagues are included in OOTP for 1936, would there be enough players in the database to fill out the Cards' 1936 system? yes
Understood that the Indy, Negro, and Foreign leagues aren't included. Are any of the players included, or does one need to import from a Spritze db to get them? None of these players are included, need to Spritzify.
Another: In 1934 the Dallas Steers were unaffiliated but playing in the Texas League (which had 3 of 8 teams affiliated with the majors). In 1935 the Steers became affiliated with the White Sox. After the 1934 season, what happens to the Steers players - whoever they might be? Do they simply go to the free agent pool yes
Finally, is there a csv file - like the teams.csv file that controls much of MLB historical evolution, etc., - that can be provided for historical minors, so we can see what teams are included, affiliations, ballpark names, etc.? YES
Thanks in advance.
