Draft Software - Where's Hiroki Kuroda

[rotonut]

For some reason, Kuroda does not show up in the player list in Draft Mode. I know he's in the import files but he's not in the listing and when I put his name in the search box no player comes up. I checked the drafted players and he's not listed there wither. I'm using the 3/11 files. Has anyone experienced this? Any work around? Thanks.

CVRC input or projections page?

[rotonut]

I'm not sure I understand the question. I set up pre-draft to use CVRC. In draft mode I can see Kuroda when I view the CVRC values. However, the Snake Draft room does not have him listed.

[Todd Zola]

There are 2 means to import the projections, via the CVRC or the projections page. You use the CVRC which answers the question. I'll import using that and see if I can recreate the issue.

[rotonut]

I actually imported both but then chose the CVRC values in the "create draft list" menu. However, the behavior exists using either. Thanks!

[Todd Zola]

There was an issue with the pitching projection file which I fixed.

I just imported via CVRC and had no issue with Kuroda. I would try importing both again.

[rotonut]

I see Kuroda when I set up new league but not in the league I'm having the issue. It would seem that the program things Kuroda has been drafted, but I've gone up and down the players taken list and I can't find him. Any other suggestions?

[Todd Zola]

I'm going to have to get Pasko involved. I don't know what it uses to flag the players.

[rotonut]

Okay... let me know if you/he wants to see the file. Appreciate you trying to help.

[Todd Zola]

I don't know that he can see it. I assume reloading the league in not an option? You are trying to get updated standings for a league started with a previous run?

[rotonut]

I was actually testing out the software for the first time for the MB Mock. So, I'm in mid-draft. I can't say that I'm all the excited to re-enter all of the players, but if you're saying that my only recourse, than so be it.

[Todd Zola]

Pasko has been emailed.

maybe there is a file you can e-mail to one of us that we can drop into our version and try to recreate the problem

[Todd Zola]

Kuroda was drafted by viper in R12, so basically, when you went to give him to Mike, he is not in the list?

[rotonut]

That's right. Now, I had to Undraft some players since I drafted out of order. I'm not sure if Kuroda was one of the players I had to undraft. Could that have any impact?

Is the file I need to send the .exe file, or is the date stored somewhere else?

[Todd Zola]

Stored elsewhere, but the undrafting is good info -- though recreating the draft list is supposed to take care of that.

[rotonut]

Okay... I'm at a loss. Let me know what I should send to Pasko or you and I'll do so tomorrow. Time to sign off for the night. Thanks again.

[Todd Zola]

Sit tight and let Pasko take it from here.

I have a thought because something similar happened to me once. I am not saying that this is the case, but do me a favor and look at all the teams on the Teams By Round window to see if Kuroda appears on a team.

This is what happened to me: in round 12 I realized that I made a mistake in round 5. I scrolled up to round 5, undrafted a couple of players, then highlighted a player with the intention to place him in the hole created when I undrafted. However, instead of pressing Out of Order Draft button, I pressed Draft button. The player ended up not in the open spot in round 5 that I was staring at in the window but all the way down in the next open slot in round 12. The player was on a totally random team. So there I was, scratching my head, wondering what happened to the player.
Other than that, if a player is not on a team and does not re-appear on a re-created draft list, then send me this file:
.....documents/my baseball/leagues file name leagues.zen. Send it to pasko@mastersball.com
because I am curious too.

I never realized that problems I would cause by drafting Kuroda. Makes me think of the problem when two players have identical stats. I do not use this new software.

[rotonut]

Thanks to Pasko for fixing the issue. Thanks to Todd for getting the ball rolling. It's the content that all gets us here. It's the personal attention that keeps us coming back.
