Afternoon,

Sometimes there is a positional difference between the live drafts going on now and what is listed in the email notification alerting of picks

Just to be sure, the site/draft room is the final word correct?



One example if needed is Jesus Montero - in the drafts as Util, on the email as C. I think Michael Young is another - no 2B in draft but says 2B in the emails.

Thanks!

Yes, the draft room eligibility is what you would use.

Thanks Tom (and Greg who I emailed as well and responded). I was defaulting to that but just a tad worried when I saw some of those recap emails. Alls well that ends well!

Tom - this can NOT be right - for some reason your draft room lists Michael Young at 2B....when he only qualifies at 1B and 3B - a fact I have pointed out in several threads

In my Draft Room Young does NOT have 2B (but he shows up in the recap email as 2B). It was another example that caused me to ask. Not to ask a dumb question but are you sure you are seeing it in the draft room itself?

No, I haven't been in a draft room but with all these reports on drafts showing him as 2B and questions about it it looks like that is the case. IF he is listed in the draft room correctly that is what counts .....but then Why does he show as 2B in the reports?

Everyone is properly labeled in the draft room.

As someone who has done a lot of work with player coding, I can see how this could happen if somehow two different databases are used, with the common denominator being the player's name.

But, the bottom line is the players are properly positioned within the draft room.

Perry, he's NOT listed at 2b in the draft room. I had our IT department check on it yesterday after you posted this and he is listed correctly in the draft room. We'll get the email sends correct, but the draft room is linked correctly to position eligibility.

he does show up as 2b on the Draft Board though. and jesus montero shows up as C on the Board. it's for aesthetics, I get that, but that may confuse some people in SD's/Sats

Thanks for that. Like Todd said, something isn't connecting correctly and I've alerted IT. Thanks for this as well and I'll send that to get fixed. Jesus Montero is definitely UT only to start 2012.
