Yes, you can do it. Grab a photo, crop it to 128x128 pixels and save it as a .bmp file. In MVPEdit, go to the the specific player, click on the portrait window, and then select the option to replace the portrait. In the folder window that pops up, go to the folder where the portrait is, double click on it and the portrait will be added. 
 

In the MVPEdit settings, make sure you set your game folder correctly so the portrait.big file gets updated when you add the portrait and also make sure you have the “View portraits” setting enabled so the portrait shows up with the player in MVPEdit. If it is not enabled, you cannot add or change the portrait.

In the MVP Baseball Data Directory window, you do not have the data directory selected. Double click on the “data” folder so the folder icon is open.

Instead of editing the player as a free agent, assign him to a specific team and then try editing the portrait.
