Weird issue: the $5.05 Joe Beggs Left 1/7 update card shows GB 3bx, but it should show GB 2bx, as it does when you select the card by clicking on Beggs name.

The image you see on the "update player" page is an image generated from the data that has been entered. I popped up the card and fixed the issues, then approved it. Whoever entered that card made several errors. Anyone can fix it - just pull the card up from the SOM site, then if you see an error you can just overwrite it the same way that you enter data in the first place.

is the draft still running, since it's infinitely better than SOM's highly flawed system, and if it is, any chance of adding ATG8?!

I suppose there is a chance. Do you have a league drafting soon or is it just a "it would be nice" sort of thing?

yes adrian...vets who have for years used your venerable sight for our twelve season dream leagues are at it again

some have used the SOM sight with delayed timing in order to load teams one at a time, but Ive messaged them three times now to set one up and yet to hear back. would love to keep the tradition if you're up to it...more than half our members are from the ATG7 that kept the same twelve guys for all twelve seasons.

Probably "would be nice" when Barnstormers Finals rolls around in a couple of months, as I don't think the SOM one is going to ever be ready with the 2-3 hour clock. Thanks...

I'll put the ATG 8 set out there as soon as I am able. I'm shooting for end of the week.

The ATG 8 player set is available on Diamond Dope Draft.

Adrian,
I cannot access stadiums with the atg 8 draft. I know you will fix this, and thanks for all that you provide.

I do know that I neglected to carry over the SOM IDs when I added the Stadiums for ATG 8. So those will not properly link to SOM until I've updated the data. Otherwise, the app should still allow you to draft a stadium. Please let me know if I understand the issue. Thanks!

When I download the player pool the pitcher endurance ratings column label is FIELDING.
I cannot find the column containing the number of gb(A) on each side of the card.
I cannot find the column with the year of the card.

Am I doing something wrong when I download?

Once I find that year field I can combine that with the SOMID field in Access to create a unique key that can be linked to similar key from the downloaded Strato spreadsheet and verify fields that are in both match. More important I can create queries to select pitchers/hitters who match a theme. The strat free agent sort/filter is much better than in the past but still lacks the kind of advanced filtering I can do in Access.
