For roster creators - Where do I find specific player info?

[Jim825]

The other day, I made a request for a 1978 Red Sox package to complement the 1978 Yankees package that was recently created by FuzzOne and Yanks763. Today, I was "talking" with Yanks763 and he asked me if I would be interested in creating the roster .met file for the '78 Red Sox package, since he was almost finished with the portraits.

I told him that I was reluctant because although I could find general batting information for the players, I wasn't sure where to find specific information for MVPEdit such as batting vs. lefties, batting vs. righties, hot spots, cold spots, any of the "chase", "take" or "miss" values, contact, power, percentages of where players hit balls (LF, RF, CF, grounders, fly balls, etc.), any of the ratings information (speed, discipline, bunting, throw strength, etc.), etc. :shock:

To those who have created teams, where have you found this specific information for each player? If it proves that the task isn't as daunting as it initially seems, I might be willing to tackle this project (and who knows, maybe more teams).

Any input, feedback, or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.....

most of that is done for you when you import the teams from lahman database using MVPedit

all you have to do is tweek the MET file
