      If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

                  Yeah ignore that tab. I have no clue what's going on there. I have never updated that sheet. I will manually update the positions on the Snapshot sheet as the draft goes along. Note though that this is a guide, and is not automated. Added a not to the Pos sheet.

                  Looks like everything else is good though ... first try. That'd be a first!

                    F*&%!!!!

                    I didn't find/replace KS's team properly on the Snapshot page. It's fixed now. This only effects KS's team on the Snapshot page, nothing else (this is not part of the scoring data).

                    If you want to fix it yourself, highlight all the rows from 452 to 486. The using the Find/Replace functionality (ctrl-F), replace "CJ" with "KS" (no quotation marks)

                        Big points for creativity. Also, as a vegetarian (the only one on this board?), I've eaten my fair share of trail mix aka GARP.

                          One thing I like about these straight decades drafts: you get a feel for how good some of these BCSMW players really are. Like Warren Spahn and Miguel Cabrera for instance.

                            The Stat Freak got a huge boost in value with his 1873 stolen base total being updated on BB-Ref. And I wouldn't have noticed if El D hadn't found it with Deacon White. Both of them got a huge boost. I haven't found any other players who moved around more than a trivial amount. It seems like 1873 and 1874 are the years most affected, but most guys just got a couple extra SB and lost a couple of RBI and didn't come out ahead much overall. For some reason Deacon White got an extra 13 SB and Ross Barnes got an extra 30 SB!

                              Yep, I never looked @ the stat freak on BBRef! Very, very nice pick for you.


                              For the newer drafters, take a look at Barnes' 162 game averages on BBRef and you'll know why he's the stat freak. Also, looking around BBRef I can't help but wonder whether we're going to see an onslaught of stolen base data updated for the early-mid 1870s coming soon. Edit: Actually, looks like early-mid is done. Maybe the mid-late 1870s are coming next? Wonder what new data they've gotten....

                                Yeah it's definitely the realist draft we do when it comes to accurately representing the best players of each era.
