bits and pieces, and a league monitoring tool for CBS

[mjl]

In my 12-team mixed I'm in first in ERA and last in WHIP. Looking forward to seeing where that settles out.

Highly-owned players going on the DL in the first play period of the season:

Yelich
Cruz
Myers
Lamb
Knebel
Kinsler
DeShields
Suarez (soon)
Bogaerts (probably)

Ugly first week.

And if your CBS-based league has rules like RJEL, where you have to take players off your team's DL as soon as they come off the real one and you have to call players up as soon as they lose rookie status if you had them in your minors, you might be interested in a monitoring tool I built for our league. It posts output like this to our league page:

DL:
Adam Wainwright (FantasyBaseBaldo) is off DL but team hasn't adjusted.

Minors:
AJ Reed (Putsy Caballeros) getting close: in minors but has 128 abs
Alex Reyes (Preachers) getting close: in minors but has 46.0 ips
Christian Arroyo (Scrapheap) getting close: in minors but has 125 abs
Socrates Brito (Scrapheap) getting close: in minors but has 128 abs
Carson Fulmer (Scrapheap) getting close: in minors but has 40.0 ips
Jorge Alfaro (Green Lake Gators) violation: in minors but has 130 abs

If you want this, there are three (3) ways I can get it to you depending on how much you trust a random guy on the Internet.

1) Too much: Send me your login and password and the URL of your league and I'll create a program you can run on your computer.
2) Medium: I can send you a program you can run on your computer that will look in a file you create that has your login, password, and URL and create the output for you, but you'll have to trust that that's all it does.
3) Probably the right amount even if it's extra work: I can send you the Java code that does it and you can look at the code and run it yourself, but you'll need to know how to do that or I can send you some instructions on how to install IntelliJ and make the necessary changes yourself.

Interested in (3) simply because I want to see your code too

I'll pm you

That's awesome. I'll PM you my email and you can send me the program for option 2.

[mjl]

I tested the option 2 solution and it seems to work well.

Unzip this somewhere, edit the config.properties file, and doubleclick the jar file. It doesn't really make it obvious that it's running though you'll be able to see a Java process in your task manager if you look, and in a minute or so an output file will appear in the folder.

I'm not trusting your code until we finally meet in person.....which could happen next week
