The Lahman files my database uses as its base are a real mess this year and they have been getting messier over the last few years. I think Mr. Lahmans interests have moved on. Change is good though and he is probably growing in new directions. Next year I plan on rewriting the db to use something else or to use my own database. Until then some players may remain missing for awhile. If these are the only ones missing I can hand enter these 4 (none of these have a batting, pitching or fielding record in Lahman but they are in his Master file) but I am guessing there may be more. I am hoping Mr. Lahman might release a non-beta version of his db in the not too distant future. Until that happens or I find a new data source I am a little bit stuck. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please do let me know if you find anymore. I'll add these 4 by hand tomorrow.

Those are for sure the only four from the 2014 debut set. At least I'm 99% sure on that. The others should be less problematic because the further back you go with debuts, the less messy Mr. Lahman becomes, as you've noted above. I'll keep an eye out though.

(master) alvarjo01 = Jose L Alvarez
(master) alvarjo02 = Jose R Alvarez Not sure if you wanted to do stats for Brad Andress (andrebr99 in the master file). It says in the master file that he should have stats beginning in 1980, but it doesn't mention an end date. Ditto for Pierre Arsenault (arsenpi99 in the master file). His stats are supposed to begin in 1981 with no end date. Just finished off all the "A" surnames in the master. As you can see, the list is pretty freakin' trivial so far. ![]() ![]() Last edited by actionjackson; 04-26-2015 at 02:31 AM. |

I found the rest of the 2014's with challenges (26 more) and fixed them. Mostly pitchers with batting or fielding stats but no pitching stats. A few fielders with no batting stats. Next run will include these updates.
Andress and Arsenault are coaches who never played in the minors or majors and so have no stat record. Added initials to the Alvarez players

A few other oddities I found, some 'funky' debut ages for debuts after 1901

Joe French in the California League. A number of old-timey players started young as well as many old-timey black players. Very few played a lot but quite a number made a brief appearance. Most likely due to a short-handed club that needed local temp help to fill out the necessary 9.

I've just noticed Christian Yelich has zero fielding stats for 2013, which tends to crash his defensive abilities if you import him in 2014.
(master) adducji01 = Jim D Adduci (master) adducji02 = Jim C Adduci Ditto for Dustin Ackley in CF in 2013, no stats = tree stump range. Same for Oswaldo Arcia in LF in 2013. Lots of OF in 2013 have this: Jose A Bautista, Yoenis Cespedes, Yasiel Puig. I doubt I'll be able to track them all down, but you might want to look at 2013 fielding2 stats. Pitcher Andrew Albers was not given pitching stats for 2013 and enters in 2014 as a LF with zero range and zero hitting ability. SS Jason Alfaro enters as a RP. I guess he was given too many pitching stats...I got nothing. (master) carpeda01 = David Carpenter (master) carpeda02 = David L Carpenter With regards to the guys with the same names, the OOTP master file did quite a good job of tracking them down this year. I know you work on that too Sir Spritze, but you might want to take a look at it to catch other ones that I may not. ![]() (master) martilu01 = Luis Martinez (master) martilu02 = Luis M Martinez Question: When I load up 2014 as a straight historical year, I get a lot of duplicates, mostly Japanese and Korean players (3 Norichika Aokis - two from his Japanese exploits and one from his MLB exploits). Just wonder what's causing this? It won't affect me because I plan to play Random Debut, but it's interesting nonetheless. Last edited by actionjackson; 04-27-2015 at 01:02 AM. |

Okay, I must have missed something. I downloaded the dropbox DB. I checked the box for historical rookies, but I am getting random debuts. What did I miss?

Is the "Use random rookies from all eras" box checked under Game Settings > League Settings > Historical > Historical Rookies Settings? That box needs to be unchecked if you don't want random debut. If it was checked, you'll need to start over again with it unchecked.

Does not work until 1871 at the earliest is my sincere belief. Most options don't work well if at all until then.
