Playoffs & Offseason

September 15, 2002 at 07:22PM View BBCode

Playoffs will be Monday (1 game at a time). The offseason and draft will be run on Monday night.

The new season starts Tuesday.

Anything new being added?

I'd love it if we added the ability to select what position you get in each round. I really want a specific position in the first round but fear I won't get one until later making him just and average player.

What if we just put a "round" number instead of the number of players we want from each position? It doesn't seem like it'd be real hard unless somebody wants a few players at each position (very possible when it comes to pitchers and outfielders). Maybe I'm wrong. I think this is a very desirable upgrade and necessary in helping teams improve (I want a starting pitcher in the upcoming draft but it's not my top priority).

This is an excellent idea! Maybe have a couple of slots for pitchers, since they seem to be the most popular:

SP: 1
SP: 2
SP:
RP: 4
RP:
1B: 2
2B:
3B:
SS: 1
LF:
CF: 2
RF:
C:

So in the first round, only starting pitchers and shortstops would be considered; in round 2, starting pitchers, 1B, and CF; in round 3, any player; in round 4, only RP; in round 5, any player.

I would like this ability too. I've been thinking about how to program it. The draft logic would be simplified that way, but it would be different so it will take some work.

I'm still trying to make headway with the minor leaguers playing games. I'll try to add this in there next. Hopefully have it all done in a few weeks.

I'm going to do the draft and offseason tomorrow afternoon, just to give people a chance to see the WS results.

What's up with the minor leaguers improving during the world series?

A known issue that's a pain in the a** to fix. I agree, its not fair though :)

I'll be running all this stuff in the next hour or so. After the 12:30 games on the main site.

Is the draft being re-run or something? When I click on draftees, I get an error message?

Actually, all players are showing errors.

I'm working on an enhancement for the players page. Its up and running. It now has the career totals for the player.

BTW, that post from Osiris_X was actually me. I was testing out his userid because he was having problems getting on the message boards and forgot to logout.

Wait. Did the Bum's lose? I see Bob only says he was the NL cham last year so it looks like his awsome run is finally over. Congrates to KC then.

Yup. He was up 3 games to 1, then dropped 3 in a row.

Career totals are great!!!

Another easy addition (if you're in the mood for easy additions :) ) would be if we put numbers next to the players in the rankings pages.

The career totals feature is fantastic!

I know I'm being greedy, but it would be real cool if you could filter the Rankings page by Career Statistics in addition to the current choice of Current Year Stats and Ratings.
