Amateur Draft - What Am I Doing Wrong?

4th Virginia · 07-23-2007, 02:41 AM

I've started a number of games using historical leagues based on the Lahman database. Every single time its time to do the amateur draft, I am only able to draft pitchers. Even though the pool is large and has a ton of people, I get a choice of about 25 pitchers and thats it. No amount of manipulating the sortin features allows me to draft non-pitchers. What am I doing wrong?

Sounds like you may have a filter on.

I would say the same thing... sounds like some kind of filter

Check where the DD menu has all the positions and make sure it doesn't say Starting Pitcher of something like that.

The filter opinion here is unanimous, but I'll go farther to say that you should 'clear filters' regardless of whether the game is telling you there's a filter set or not. There are conditions under which the game will tell you there are no filters set, but one is active anyway.

That worked. Even though I had no filter set (set to 'none'), as soon as I cleared it, the rest of the list populated. Thank you.
