(Character length an issue already so coaches are the first to be bumped down a post.)
Don't hesitate to let me know of any errors that need attention.
I'm sure there's arguments for players to be bumped around to different eras too. I did my best to fudge ones into the groups that seemed to fit, but again I'm sure there's a bunch I missed. Let me know if a player looks misplaced in a particular group.

This is fantastic work, BBS. Having repositories for the research we do in the ATD is of great value. I have been working along this line for several years with my threads on Soviet hockey, the Dirt thread, the Norris voting thread, etc. What you've done here is a very useful step forwards. Kudos. Hopefully, GMs will contribute their future work and the OP will be updated (by you and the mods/admins here) often enough that this thread can serve as a single jumping off point for ATD bio-related information.
one thing - do we need outdated bios in there? Jack Adams, as a random example. I started that one in ATD11, then dreakmur used all that material in atd2010, and I don't think he added anything to it. Then I used that info again, while beefing it up considerably through google archives, rendering the last two completely obsolete. If the old ones had anything unique in them, I'd say to post them both. (but in my case, if there was stuff in older bios that was of any use, I'd include them in the updated bio)
of course, you might just be doing a "bio dump" without having the time to check every one to see if they're necessary or not, and that's fine too.
Minor Leaguers to be organized later - some may be spare worthy but I need the space at the moment and will reassess where they belong after the draft ends
Just an update, I worked my way through all of those bios and tried to remove all the redundancies. If anyone wants to quibble over the ones I left up or removed let me know.
I've got some links from last year's MLD and AAA that I've just started adding in as well so that'll be my next move.
Appreciate the head's up, added them in. I've been sitting on some other old MLD bios but I'm probably gonna wait till this draft ends before I type them all up.

Agreed. Nice work, BBS. The links are awesome, because the updates will be shown as well.
I sure hope this wonderful list is updated with 2013 bios.
I don't want to have a bunch of redundant bios, there probably wouldn't be space for them due to character limits anyways, so it takes some time comparing all the versions of bios to see which belong and which can be removed. Adding newly profiled guys is a lot quicker.
I'll have them all up there eventually, but not before the ATD ends.
another vote to have this stickied, a very very usefull thread.
