Getch is correct, not sure what you mean...

Ah, good idea. Thanks.

Sad to see my 2 CFers go almost back to back - Voisin and Matthias. It was a tough call going with Thomas over those 2, but I thought the 2B on my list would go before the CF on my list (because they are younger - and people always tend to draft that way), but right now they're both gone and my other 2 2B on my list are still there, haha.

When on the page where you create your list in the utility use your browser's search feature, probably ctrl+F, and search for the players name.

Had trouble finding players in the utility.

do you mean you had trouble making your pick when it was your turn?

Has anyone come up with a trick to using the draft utility? Just spent a very frustrating 15 minutes drafting... and I knew who it was that I actually wanted before I even opened the browser.

Everything is as it should be. As far as I can see, the utility is drafting players from the list you've made in the utility just fine.

Thanks for the explanation. Glad it's not the utility being a pain. I'm back on track now.

Thanks, but it looks like it got taken care of now.

Just got home and switched it.

CHICAGO IS ON THE CLOCK.

Please make a pick in the next hour.

so do you want one of the two guys you sent? If so, PM me and I'll make the change right now.

Thanks for that Blue - it was a solid sub. I talked to the commish about it last night and he said I could sub a pick - just sent him a 2 player shortlist of currently available guys (in case the top one gets picked before he can make the change).

I had to fix it. Absent owner or not, it's not fair to the league or any potential or current owner to give teams players who have NEVER played a game of organized baseball in their career. Have no idea how the getch AI works, but it's ridiculous.

Thanks.

Well, your second round pick is . .. . .

Glad you're on board, though. Grab the reigns ASAP and get it back on track.

EDIT: Looks like Jeff fixed the auto-draft's poor decisionmaking.

Gentlemen: I fucked up this morning and had to restart the draft. I redrafted for everyone. That's why you think you've made four picks. In fact, you've made your first two picks twice. Everything is as it should be. As far as I can see, the utility is drafting players from the list you've made in the utility just fine.

I'm still 4 picks from my round 2 selection. I am NOT a fan of this selection process.. But......

I'm starting to worry. According to the emails I've been getting, my team has now picked 4 times. According to Getch however, I've only picked twice. With all the problems people have been having with the utility, I'm willing to believe that it's just not updating correctly. That could be a problem since I have no idea who my #3 or #4 picks are, and I'd like to adjust for Round 5. Any ideas?

3/4 of the way through the second round. Heavy on SP, as these kinds of drafts usually are.

Hey guys, it looks like I am taking over the Montreal squad... would any care to give me a cribs notes of how the draft has gone so far?

Thanks.

You should do a you tube video so others could do a list

Quickly finding the players in the utility is pretty easy.

-I open the draft utility and go to the page where you create you list and either list pitchers or hitters.

-Then I use my browsers 'Find' function to search for each name.

'ctrl+F' in Chrome, Firefox, and IE

-Once found I add them to my list and repeat the search process for the next player.

Beats the heck out of scrolling down through the list.

Wow, entering a list of players in the utility is a royal PITA. Though once I realized I could use the Browser search function to quickly find the player it wasn't so bad.

When I move a guy from my list it brings back a player I removed 2 days ago. Any ideas? I don't want to be randomly picking players I only put on my list to earmark for later rounds.

try to log out, clear your browser, and log back in.
