Place Holders That Need To Be Added To System
Place Holders That Need To Be Added To System
Just thought I'd start a thread for place holders that Greg/Tom will have to add to their player data base.
I'm guessing that the fast paced draft has many, since our slower draft just found that Blake Snell was not included.
So, I'll start it with Snell and let other drafters add more players that should be included...
Blake Snell, P, TAM
Trey Mancini, 1b, Balt
Mallex Smith, OF, Atl
AJ Reed, 1b, Hou
Byung Ho Park, 1b, MIN
Kenta Maeda, SP, ?
Seung-Hwan Oh, P - ?
Jae-Gyun Huang, 3B - ?
Michael Fulmer, P - DET
Jose De Leon, P - LAD
Roman Quinn, OF, PHI
Lewis Brinson, OF, TEX
Taylor Motter, OF, TAM
Josh Hader, P, MIL
Wilson Contreras, C, CHI
Brett Phillips, OF, MIL
Andrew Knapp, C, PHI
Adam Engel, OF, CWS
Tyler White, 3B, HOU
Jake Thompson, P, PHI
Chad Pinder, SS, OAK
Cody Reed, P, CIN
Brett Eibner, OF, KC

Re: Place Holders That Need To Be Added To System
Thanks Bryan.
This should also save drafters the time in looking for them once they've entered the draft room.
Hopefully, we can get an e.t.a. as to when these players will be added.

These players are all draftable. They are just not in the NFBC player base.Scoony32 wrote:So can we not draft any of these guys?
To draft them, you'll have to use a place holder designation and announce in the chat room which player you are taking.
Until these players are added, it is a good idea to have one person from each draft, e-mail Greg/Tom after the draft telling them who drafted each place holder after the draft concludes.

Draft a placeholder at their position then post in the chat the player you want and send an e-mail to Greg and Tom.Scoony32 wrote:So can we not draft any of these guys?

Re: Place Holders That Need To Be Added To System
Sure, we can send to IT. I wasn't going to piecemeal these one by one, so it looks like we have a strong list now that I can send to them. I don't think they can add the unsigned foreign players until they sign with an MLB team, but we can add the low minor-league guys. Thanks for the list and let me know when you add more.DOUGHBOYS wrote:Greg,

Last year, they assigned a team (I think it was Seattle) to the Asian players until signed by their real team.Greg Ambrosius wrote:Sure, we can send to IT.

Very far be it for me to be a Debbie Downer on this, but I think that it's absolutely absurd that we as customers need to research, prepare, and then forward this list every year to IT during the middle of our drafts in order for them just to have a complete list of eligible players for us to draft from their archaic draft room which is bad enough as it is. Instead of making fucking excuses for them, just demand that this be made a priority ASAP...and how about next time in advance of the site going live and drafts beginning? Ridiculous.

Re: Place Holders That Need To Be Added To System
This should be a routine every year.
Once we've done our homework in October and early November, a single, comprehensive list of players should be sent to IT a few days before the first Draft Champions league starts that they add, and once the players are added, DC 1 starts.

Re: Place Holders That Need To Be Added To System
Hyun-Soo Kim should also be added.
Any update as to when these players will be added to the system?

Re: Place Holders That Need To Be Added To System
We hope to have them in the next day. Again, they aren't an easy add because of the way the company assigns Player IDs within the data base. We're tagging them first for the NFBC and then for the rest of their careers in the STATS data base. So we need help here, but we're getting it now. Keep drafting these obscure players and little do they know that you guys are officially entering them into the STATS data base.DOUGHBOYS wrote:Hyun-Soo Kim should also be added.

Thanks all and good luck.

Re: Place Holders That Need To Be Added To System
I can confirm that some of these placeholders have been added.
However, we're in the middle of a slow draft and now some players that had been drafted as placeholders (e.g., Maeda, Snell, Reed) are now showing as being available in the draft room. Any suggestions on how we should handle this for the remainder of the draft? We don't need the same players drafted twice.

Re: Place Holders That Need To Be Added To System
Probably should be discussed in chat, although not everyone will be present. Guess the two things I'd suggest are: (1) send an e-mail to everyone in the League reminding them not to take certain players that already were taken via placeholders; and (2) make sure the League News, on the League home page, has a running, updated list of all placeholders taken.Happenstance wrote:I can confirm that some of these placeholders have been added.
