Yup 2005.

[johnnya24]

Not at home. I'll look into it this evening.

[Bene Futuis]

Encarnación is not a “contemporary” player.

[johnnya24]

The Snapshot just has the Hitter/Pitcher Decades, which we're not using though. I don't see the Era on there. Am I missing something?

Also - I added "franchises" to the Snapshot in the same vein, and a new Franchise tab (similar to "let", "dec" etc) ... but that is not complete yet because I needed to make some modifications that I haven't done yet (tedious "morning" stuff).

[johnnya24]

Let me know if you need help fixing anything.

Nah ... all done ... your wizardry is wasted on these mundane tasks

IOW I need to keep your goodwill for more complex crap

Including the the "Remaining" sections of each team.

[johnnya24]

Yes, look on the 'Era' tab.

Ah right ... thx ... thought you were talking about something else.

It was already correct on the Snapshot.

EDIT: I fixed this, but I still have to repair the Snapshot page from adding the Franchise Tab. So don't download the latest version of the spreadsheet yet.

Have you noticed some problem/error?

The spreadsheet doesn't calculate the Period eligibility dynamically. That was done previously in the compilation of the spreadsheet. Then the raw data was retained not the algorithm.

It would weigh the spreadsheet down too much to calculate all that information dynamically ... some peoples computers can't handle that, plus it slows the spreadsheet even on fast PC's.

Edit: Also it's 2004 Inclusive ... so from 2005 onwards

Yes, look on the 'Era' tab.

BTW, Johnny, on the SS it's not listing Contemporary hitters accurately, as it's not deciphering if they started after 2004.

I had Votto written in when I changed it and took Van Haltren. Decided I didn't want 3 1B-only types.

Also, was hoping to nab Iwakuma here. He had been on my shortlist for a couple of rounds now.

I had written in Raul P, Walker ,Votto when I took Hack. I just see a big bag of Dicks heading our way with the Letter - Franchise rules. You can even throw in the contemporary restrictions. I will need all the flexibility I can save just to field a whole team. I had to take Molitor I need a normal at a middle inf with a decent franchise.

Sometimes we cant make it to the top....halfway is not half bad

Actually went for a hike yesterday and Mt. Rainier was covered in clouds halfway up. It made me smile. It is truly a beautiful mountain

[The Feral Slasher]

Walker has been at the top of my list for a while but I couldn't reasonably take him.
