Im doing something wrong !!!

QSTGary · 05-04-2002, 09:37 AM

First of all, thanks to all that have helped me get this far, your patience is overwhelming! But I am still trying to import individuals from the lahman database into my fictional league. However, there seems to be multiple problems...
1. Age is messed up due to DOB (most are -1 yrs old)
2. Positions are out of whack (harold baines as a 2b???)
3. Career stats??? it seems that TB in database throws comp stats out of whack...if I remove TB I seem to lose 1999-2001 stats....Im confused....
4. All I am trying to do is import a few MLB free agents...I will probably create them if this seems to be a major problem.... But Im guessing it is not and that I am doing something wrong!

Thanks again!!!

specs: OOTP4, lahman4.5 (from several sources)

Not sure why the Ages would be messed up.. unless the year of your league is different than the year of the player you are attempting to import.

Not sure what happened to give Baines at second base.

Career stats are messed up because of the way the database is sorted... as soon as I get things straightened out regarding permission to distribute the Lahman database this will be corrected.
