A question for Spritze, is it worth reporting minor league players that are misidentified by BBref (due to name mispellings,variations or other errors) and thus replicated by OOTP causing them to have multiple entries in the database? Or is that something you wouldn't want to change going forward?
For example, the following 3 are all the same player:
Arthur "Tink" Riviere (rivieti01,rivier001art) -

A.Reviere, 1924 Houston Buffaloes (revier001a--) -
A. Reviere Minor Leagues Statistics & History | Baseball-Reference.com
Reviere, 1925 Dallas Steers (revier001---) -
Reviere Minor Leagues Statistics & History | Baseball-Reference.com
See:
Tink Riviere to be added to the Buffaloes, The Houston Post. (Houston, Tex.), Vol. 40, No. 53, Ed. 1 Tuesday, May 27, 1924 (
The Houston Post. (Houston, Tex.), Vol. 40, No. 53, Ed. 1 Tuesday, May 27, 1924, Sequence: 10 | The Portal to Texas History)
What this means is that if you start in 1924 you would have rookie pitcher "A Reviere" on the Houston Buffaloes and after a year veteran Tink Riviere will populate the White Sox and rookie "Ballplayer" Reviere populates the Dallas Steers...
As you can imagine and just for the 1920s years I am looking at there are many other examples like this.
