Edit: Completly unrelated BaseballMan but do you have a file that say exactly when a player was really on a team... that would be so practical to have better results. I ask because I know that your line-up are more in line with the real one from that period. I just take Fort Wayne as an exemple who had players who drop left and right in real life... players who were fired mid-season or came for a game or two.
I have a spreadsheet with all the player moves, managers and owners as well. Though i had to guess at some of the early owners.
Right now i'm concentrating on making sure the pitchers are on the correct teams when they were scheduled to start in the real leagues.
I'd like to be able to make sure all teams had a player at every position for every game but thats a bit tricky in that players a lot of different positions and the game doesn't really know what to do with them.
Like when the game will you use a position player to start over a pitcher.
Thats why i went to the actual starting pitcher for that scheduled game.

This basically what i use. I did have it separated into different spreadsheets for players and managers and starting pitchers but its easier in just one sheet. I didn't get complicated with different types of trades. I just used a simple player release and a player signed. Though i would love to have that and injury reasons as well. However my goal was to have the players on
the correct teams. I always do the transactions for a day before pplaying any scheduled games and i release a players before signing players.

Like i said its still as work in progress but if anyone finds it useful and wants to use it or add to it go ahead.
