The spate of 1870's picks got me wondering ... why are there so few BY's? Somehow the following 1870's pitchers (on the career sheet) have eligible BY's that are not on the BY sheet. No eligible 1870's BY's were filtered out of the SS, so not sure how that happened. The following players have eligible BY's for pitching (brackets = number of BY's):

deando01     Dean, Dory (1)
fishech01    Fisher, Cherokee (3+)
foleycu01    Foley, Curry (1)
goldemi01    Golden, Mike (1)
hankifr01    Hankinson, Frank (1)
healeto01    Healey, Tom (1)
knighlo01    Knight, Lon (2)

I will have to import these from BR.com ... so in the mean time you can check through them yourselves.

Edit:

I'll add these BY's to the sheet tomorrow morning. These are the "draftable" years. The other eligible years will be desperation picks.

Bit of work to do. Pick up irishly

[heyelander]

Heye - can you post Weaver's stat lines?

weavesa01_1878 weavesa01 Weaver Sam 1878 383.0 371 83 21 95 12 45 0 1.95 1.023 31 1870

[heyelander]

Thanks, amigo! You don't happen to have the career one handy, do you? Course, I can just wait for ol' JA, too.

So I've got one in the VD10 file, but the line on BR is different now. Which is official?

[The Feral Slasher]

Soooo.... I thought Bill Craver was elgible at 2B, but he doesn't show up in the SS as elgible. What are the eligibility rules ?

[heyelander]

Soooo.... I thought Bill Craver was elgible at 2B, but he doesn't show up in the SS as elgible. What are the eligibility rules ?

per the rules he should be 2B eligible.

Johnny didn't post rules for this one, but I assume they are the same as VD10.

i. For a hitter to be eligible for a position, he must have played 200 games at that position. If a hitter has not played 200 games at any position, then the position that player has played the most games at will be considered their eligible position. If you choose to take a player who has the most games played at pitcher or designated hitter (and does not have any other position where they met the 200 game minimum) then that player only qualifies for the UT slot.

Craver's games by position are:
2B 173
SS 91
C 70
OF 12
3B 7
1B 7

so nothing over 200 so he's only eligible at his highest played position. 2B.

[The Feral Slasher]

Johnny didn't post rules for this one,

Johnny never does anything around here !!













ok, I'll take this time to say thanks to Johnny and everyone else who keeps these things going !

[heyelander]

Johnny never does anything around here !!

Seriously, sometimes I get sick of carrying the water for everyone on these things.

Yeah, I had already updated that on the SS.

We're going to go with whatever is on the Lahman database, but I'll do any quick updates with B-R.com in the mean time.
