Awesome that Patrick's first move since returning is a rare "double ineligible" draft pick, which I think is unprecedented in NSBL history. Suck it, Patrick! Love, JIm Just edited my section... I love making history!

Nice pick with Ibanez. I was keeping tabs on him for maybe next Summer.

I was all set to take a grindery SP with ZIPS, but decided to go against my normal draft strategy this winter draft.

I think it should be said here... someone needs to spellcheck the damn spreadsheet! Rich has a bunch of time on his hands between drafts. Spellcheck that shit, damnit!

I think it should be said here... someone needs to spellcheck the damn spreadsheet! Rich has a bunch of time on his hands between drafts. Spellcheck that shit, damnit! That's a lot of work for one person when 99% of the names are spelled correctly. Individual owners should be responsible for the accuracy of their own team's sheet on the document. I ask owners multiple times a year to double-check my work cause I know I misspell names, especially uncommon names. Connor is usually pretty good about giving me a list each offseason of misspelled names, but I know he's had less time this year. But remember, the spreadsheet isn't the only way to check. You can go to the Summer or Winter Draft board and do a quick search there too. It will search every Summer (or Winter) draft there for instances of the name. I actually find it quicker to use than the Excel find function. And then if an owner spelled the name correctly when they drafted him, it should pull up. But really this is why I tell people not to get too specific with their searches cause names can be misspelled. If you just search "Alex" on the spreadsheet, you get 20-25 entries and that's an easy list to check. But if you just search "Kir" you only get four entries. Kirilloff comes right up.

Your response is accurate and not any amount of fun. Disregarded. Rich, get to work, Slacker McSlackington!

I had a question on the naming convention of the spreadsheet. I know you do last name, first name format which in itself is not a typical format. Are you otherwise trying to stay with a standard convention for Jr's or Michael / Mike type or JJ vs J.J. names? I know a few well known sites do not use Jr and a couple others have their quirks.
Also does anyone know if DM has a UID to mlb_id conversion spreadsheet or link?

Also does anyone know if DM has a UID to mlb_id conversion spreadsheet or link? I have no standard convention. It's sorta at the whim of the moment, but I also try to abide by the owners preference. And sometimes I just like to mess with player names. I've given Gregory Polanco many different first names on the roster. Greggles, G-Funk. Gregorio, any others Brian? And last year I was constantly changing the name of one of the Matt Duffys. I still don't know which is which on the sim. As for the UID to mlb_id conversion? I have no clue. I was getting some good work done with DMB Encyclopedia for historical stats until I realized that several players have multiple UID numbers which ruin career accumulation numbers when running Encyclopedia.

DMB uses a ID number system for each player. Each player, team, ballpark, league, etc is assigned a UID number. This, ideally, stays constant from year to year (but doesn't). It allows you to be able to track information from year to year, etc. I imagine most websites use similar systems. For example, Adam Rosales' Player ID at Fangraphs is "9682". At BR it's "rosalas01". At MLB.com it's "489267" and for DMB it's "1877". Michael was just hoping to find a quick reference or conversion spreadsheet to make tracking or researching players easier.

Is the Phillies new GM an Internet Bot? For those who haven't paid attention, Michael is a "projections" guy. He tracks over a dozen different projection systems looking for reliability and checking to see how they perform on a yearly basis. He's also created his own projection system. So being able to easily reference players across numerous piles of data can save him lots of time.

Are you otherwise trying to stay with a standard convention for Jr's or Michael / Mike type or JJ vs J.J. names? I know a few well known sites do not use Jr and a couple others have their quirks. Also does anyone know if DM has a UID to mlb_id conversion spreadsheet or link? I'm not positive about this, but I vaguely remember looking into this in the past, and thinking DMB's player ID system was an auto-incrementing system unique to each league, probably based on some properties like first_name+last_name+DOB or something that would key uniquely. So, while Adam Rosales is 1477 or something in our files (as Joe noted), he may have a different player_id in another sim league. This would make sense, since the DMB framework doesn't have have a pre-loaded player universe file with every historic/current player in the system, and it's instead dependent on loading season discs each season. So it needs some way to generate a player_id on it's own, and it's easier to use an auto-incrementing system rather than running the player_info through some hash creating the same player_id across all DMB leagues. Therefore, if somebody was to produce a DMB player_id to mlb_id spreadsheet, it would likely only be unique for their league (unless they load the season discs in the exact same order as we have, starting at the same time). Regarding naming convention Mike, I found it best to grab the names from the team roster pages (e.g. thensbl.com/tm1_tmroster.htm), as these follow a more uniform naming, as the names are generated from our season discs, and thus have a smaller liklihood of having spelling errors as well. The main problem is that the hitting/pitching/pitching splits pages use a Last Name, First Initial system, and without an age or DOB column, it makes it tricky to join to the original rosters. I found a workaround at one point, but I don't remember exactly what it was without finding my code for it. Also, the rosters don't have players without a projection, and we also don't track financial information or draft picks online, so you still have to use the spreadsheet for that.

A little late to this but I got around to watching the OA. It was very captivating at first, and did a good job of building up suspense. That being said, the last 15 minutes were terrible, almost ruined the entire show for me. It was the laziest way to wrap up a season, and I burst out into laughter during the final epic climatic scene.
Id slap a 55 grade on it with a 60 FV depending how/if they do a 2nd season.

Atlanta Braves - Juan Soto - OF - Washington Nationals 18. Miami Marlins - Leodys Taveras - OF - Texas Rangers 25. New York Mets - Josh Staumont - RHP - Kansas City Royals 16. Chicago Cubs - Brandon Woodruff - RHP - Milwaukee Brewers 28. Pittsburgh Pirates - Ramon Laureano - OF - Houston Astros 5. Washington Nationals - Jahmai Jones - OF - Los Angeles Angels 15. Toronto Blue Jays - Jesus Sanchez - OF - Tampa Bay Rays 1. Philadelphia Phillies - Thomas Szapucki - LHP - New York Mets 11. Boston Red Sox - Trevor Clifton - RHP - Chicago Cubs 27. Baltimore Orioles - Jose Albertos - RHP - Chicago Cubs 12. Chicago White Sox - Matt Strahm - LHRP - Kansas City Royals 4. San Francisco Giants - Sixto Sanchez - RHP - Philadelphia Phillies 13. Detroit Tigers - Yusniel Diaz - OF - Los Angeles Dodgers 7. Cleveland Indians - Mauricio Dubon - SS - Milwaukee Brewers 14. Los Angeles Dodgers - Andrew Toles - OF - Los Angeles Dodgers 19.

I'm sure this will annoy people, but this is just my own personal preference. I know it will be wrong in 15 years when all is said and mostly done with these players. But I thought it might get some activity going.
