Okay, I'm in the 6th season of a fictional league I have going, and I have "everything" set to computer control, except when I want to make a few changes here & there. Anyway, I'm manually doing this year's Amateur Draft, and for two players so far, their names are wrong. Let me explain:

San Francisco goes to draft 2B prospect E. Vollmer from the Amateur Draft screen. I right click on him to draft him, and it pops up "Sign Paul Tinsley?" This guy is the only 2B left in the draft, so I'm not clicking on the wrong guy.

I've had another similar problem. Oakland shows up in the Draft "Filled Positions" screen as having 22 1B in their organization. I was somewhat shocked by this, so I went to the transaction page, and there were maybe 5 in all the levels combined. I checked their team transaction log, and it seems 1B Martin Hunt was dealt about 10 times in the offseason. Check this out:

6 Thursday 2/28/2006 :
1 Martin Hunt has been released.

And after all of that, they release the guy. When I checked the FA list, Martin Hunt was nowhere to be found though. I suppose it's because of the same "name" problem. Any ideas what's causing this? Why isn't running the computer manager assuring that there isn't a surplus of players, if this is the problem? If not, I have no clue.
