The csv file has no bearing on the workings of the game in this regard, IE for the players. You'd need to get Doom's tool and attack the DBs themselves.
That said, you won't necessarily have dupes of every player. I'm up to 1918 using a workaround for historical minors and have only encountered a few. It all depends on the difference between the unmodded version's rookie year and the modded version's. To be honest, I haven't 100% figured out exactly what triggers the unmodded versions sneaking in but I think it occurs when the unmodded rookie season is before the modded one, which makes the most sense. When they do sneak in (obviously you need to catch them), you can just delete them and the modded version will still come in as planned. Not sure what happens if you don't catch and delete them and hope I never find out, at least not first-hand.
What I am seeing is that the MiLB stats seem to be getting merged on the modded versions with historical minors on but all that seems to be doing is messing about with some of the retirement years.
Check out my Dodgers save in my sig and you'll see this in action.
