For those crazy OOTPing Insomniacs or early birds, I present to you, the first ever public unveiling of the League File.
As of now, there are only 2 manager IDs; The Commish and the infamous Buster Olney. The Commish is password protected for obvious reasons, but Buster Olney isn't, meaning you have the opportunity to see the team pages, albeit they are underwhelming as nobody has any players. But feel free to take a look, anyways.
Now, things that shouldn't be worried about right now are minor league affiliates and draft order. The affiliates will be customized after the draft, and the draft order you'll see in the game isn't the one we're going to roll with, as I'll randomize once more before we start.
What we need to do now is see what I screwed up in my player editing. You can see all players either by going to the CSBC tab -> Free Agents and then clicking the "Show All Players" tab. You can also go to the CSBC tab and click "Inaugural Draft" and then the "Continue Draft" tab. Be careful, because you can draft players to teams, this won't hurt anything as this isn't the "official" league file, but I guess "Do so at your own discretion" (I wouldn't recommend it, as you can't undo it).
Anyways, you can sort players by position and by ratings and such, so just browse around and see if anything's out of whack.
Some notes about player ratings, all on a 1-100 scale (some ratings can exceed 100 in exceptional cases):
So, if you've found someone that needs correcting, just post it here, like:
David Ortiz's power is too high... or whatever.

Notes about fielding ratings:
All infield defense is based on second base, don't ask me why, but that's how it seems to be. So a guy with all 50s would be an average defensive 2B. Outfield defense is pretty standard, all 50s would be an average corner OFer, obviously CF would require a bit better range... so, that's how they're evaluated.

Notes about batting ratings:
Contact - 100 rating would be roughly equal to a .360ish average
Gap - roughly, the total /2 is the amount of XBH (Not HRs) the guy is pegged to hit
Power - same as above, but with HR
Eye - kind of a 1.25x relationship to the rating, so the guy will BB roughly 1.25 times for every point (this is a rough estimate of the rating)
Avoid Ks - I don't have a rough go-to figure for this one, but you can use your judgment to realize Pujols is hard to K and Mike Jacobs would K like it's cool

Notes about Pitching Ratings:
Stuff - 100 is roughly 12 ks per 9 IP, 55 is roughly 7 ks per 9 IP
Movement - 55 is roughly 1.1 HR per 9 IP, 92 is roughly .4 HR per 9 IP
Control - 55 is roughly 3 BB per 9 IP, 97 is roughly 0.9 BB per 9 IP
