GEOFF - MOCK DRAFT ERRORS I FOUND

TRAIN · Post by **TRAIN** » Wed Mar 10, 2010 4:16 pm

No Chris Young OF (AZ) listed

Roy Halladay now in the (NL), not (AL).

Russell Branyan now with CLE, not SEA.

Felipe Lopez now with STL, not MLW.

Jim Thome is AL, not NL.

JJ Putz is AL, not NL.

Carlos Gomez is NL, not AL.

Edwin Jackson is NL, not AL.

Chris Perez is AL, not NL.

Octavio Dotel is NL, not AL.

Milton Bradley is AL, not NL.

Orlando Hudson is AL, not NL.

Jake Fox is AL, not NL.

Garrett Atkins is AL, not NL.

Daniel Schlereth is AL, not NL.

J.J. Hardy is AL, not NL.

Brandon Lyon is NL, not AL.

Ben Sheets is AL, not NL.

Jeremy Hermida now in the AL, not NL.

Akinori Iwamura is NL, not AL.

Xavier Nady is NL, not AL.

Rick Ankiel is AL, not NL.

Ian Kennedy is NL, not AL.

Garrett Anderson is now with the LAD, not ATL.

Rod Barajas now with the NYM (NL), not TOR(AL).

Chan-ho Park now with the NYY (AL), not PHI (NL).

Chien-Ming Wang now with WSH (NL), not NYY (AL).

Please change Victor Martinez from 1b,C to C,1b. The system forced me to draft an extra catcher because it had Martinez at 1b and would not move him to C. Actually, the system should allow us to move the player to the position we want him to occupy as long as he qualifies.

Just a hint for everyone when drafting Martinez and other dual-eligible players....

When you click on their name, a box with their picture, stats and latest news will pop up. In that box is a dropdown box that lists all of the positions that they can be placed in -- simply choose "C" in Martinez's case, then click "Draft" and he will go to one of your catching slots.

Thanks for pointing out all of the other issues, as well.

I just received word from the fine Fanball tech team that all of these changes have been made -- including Martinez defaulting to catcher.

Thanks, guys.

Geoff,

One other thing with the draft software. If you're scrolling down your player list, the scroll resets to the top of the list when a pick is made. This makes it difficult locating players for your cue. Thanks.

Headley is another guy that might need to be listed at 3b first then OF, when drafting there is a higher chance of him being drafted as 3b than an OF

I am sure there are others in this category also, you fixed Martinez already

I cannot draft effectively with the players list resetting after each pick. Also need qued players highlighted. Thx

Is there any way that once a player has been selected we could get his name called out, when looking at list and thinking about your picks there may have been three or four picks made. It would just be nice if there were some sort of a noise made to alert you that a pick has been made.

I guess while we're at it. Another player that I noticed a week ago that might need to have the default position changed is Zobrist. I'm assuming most people would draft him at 2b although I could be wrong. This might have been changed but when I had a mock draft last week I drafted him as OF. I then realized on my next player that you can switch the position on the player page.
