1988 Draft Discussion

[Andrew]

OK I updated the utility draft order to reflect all trades and sandwich picks. Please let me know if you notice any errors.

[Andrew]

Are the sandwich rounds not displayed in the draft utility?

Not yet.

EDIT - Unless I'm mistaken, Kirby is the only eligible player for compensation.

There are only 158 pitchers in the draft so it's displaying all of them.

Hmm, I believe you but it does seem that you can't search by Batters/Pitchers. You have to search by position to find every available player.

I'm not sure why this is the case, but it is.

[Ryan]

Pull up by position (ex SP) and do a FIND (CTRL F)... I bet he's there. The position is key.

Thats what she said...

I searched by position. I'll try the "Find"...

[Gyrodork]

Can't find the best SP (per my scout) on the draft utilities list. Something is amiss...

[Matt]

Ditto. One pitcher and one hitter I couldn't find. I'm sure they are there someplace.

It wasn't for me either, not sure how many in the list but I found at least one that wasn't on the page unless I did SP>

[Andrew]

The sorting to the draft utility has a bug.

You can choose to sort Pitchers by ground ball percentage and it'll display "the first" (whatever that means) 200 pitchers.

Problem is, that sort may not include the pitcher you're looking for. When you sort by SP then that name may pop up.

I find it frustrating.

I don't see ANY player ratings in the draft utility.

That's because we have scouting enabled so the ratings are hidden.

BTW - I have to say... I'm really excited about our new Feeder League system. One of the biggest complaints people had in the past was the fact that it was unrealistic in the past because we just had so little information on who we are drafting. I love that not only do we get stats, but we'll get to track them through their league's "Top Player List" and other features that give a generic scouts take on things. I'm excited.

Yeah, this is good stuff. Being able to track guys like this should prove to be a valuable tool for all of us going forward. Adds a ton of depth to the league, imo.
