Wrong MLB ID for Jose Martinez

#1 Post by DividedByZero »

First off, want to say thank you for the projections and work. Won my league last year using your projections as a base : )

The reason I'm even flagging is that I run all your projections through a highly customized app I built for my home league, and part of that process is linking in data from multiple sources which I rely on things like the MLB ID. Going through that process this year it looks like you've got the wrong MLB ID for Jose Martinez, the 1B/OF from the cards.

I'm using the "Hitting Projections and Dollar Values for Common Leagues" file posted March 1.

In there you have Jose Martinez with ID 642686, which links to:
https://www.mlb.com/player/jose-martinez-642686 <-- some MiLB Jose Martinez not even on a team

Looks like the correct ID should be 500874:

Thanks again for all your work!

P.S.. MLB says his nickname is "Cafe"... Who knew!!

Thanks, on the road and having issues with my programs, should be corrected next time.
