Don't type "Ott, M". That throws it off.

Type "Ott" then pick the Ott you want from the dropdown. Or type "Sewe" and pick the Sewell you want.

perfect advice...
except for the fact that no matter WHAT (who) I type it just goes to:

Pitchers
No pitchers match your search criteria.

Hitters
No hitters match your search criteria.

not big on telephoning right now -- this stage FOUR throat cancer I'm trying to get over has my (formerly strong) voice reduced to a bleating hoarse whisper :oops:

When you wanted the player on your roster, did you click on the name or the price?

The name calls up the card so you can examine it. Clicking on the price at the right side of the player's line puts that player on your roster.

I still think the only possible answer is he's in the 2019 player set where there IS NO Ott.

Frank Bailey...
the POINT is -- the NAME or the PRICE do not EVER appear
(thought it might be my secure browser so tried evil Google's Chrome; still nothing)

Steve is probably right...
they probably do NOT allow us to play with the set we got USED to with the free trial -- did me ZERO good to download the ATG8 spreadsheet and spend a bunch of time trying to put together a logical squad!!

kind of a crock of horseshit if you ask me, which nobody did of course!!
(this was great in 1967-68 but now that we are digital is way too complicated for those of us who REMEMBER the 1960's)
