Battling Bucs : ATP: By Birthplace - An Introduction

Each of the last two offseasons I've worked on projects digging into the Pirates past under the name All Time Pirates (ATP) and this offseason will see yet another variation of that practice. The first year saw the Pirates history divided into eras and last year saw the formation of a local (Pennsylvania born) and international (outside USA born) team. This year will be similar to the last year except each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia and each foreign country will be forming their own team.
I have just finished scrubbing my data set and I am ready to begin the process. There will be two parts of this process with 6 classes in each part and a final summary post meaning there will be a total of 13 additional posts beyond this introductory one. The parts will be divided into position players and pitchers and the classes will be determined based on the size of each location's available pool of players.
Position Players
Class F: 0-7 Players
Class E: 8-15 Players
Class D: 16-30 Players
Class C: 31-60 Players
Class B: 61-99 Players
Class A: 100+ Players
Pitchers
Class F: 0-4 Players
Class E: 5-13 players
Class D: 14-19 players
Class C: 20-29 players
Class B: 30-59 players
Class A: 60+ players
I will select up to 15 position players and 13 pitchers for each location to showcase each team's depth but the final summary post will have the final roster of a starting 8, 4 starting pitchers and 1 closer. According to my current data there are 34 locations capable of fielding a team meeting these minimum requirements so I will seed them 1 through 34 to finish out the topic.
I am looking forward to this exercise and I am hopeful some of you will find enjoyment out of it as well.
