Adding players to a draft pool ?

[Grandbudda]

I'm commish of an historical league and ready for the 1952 amateur draft. The problem is there are at least 3 guys that are showing up in the free agent pool who should also be in the amateur draft.

My question is how do I create a file to Import into my ootp online league ?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Greg

You should be able to go into those players editor tabs and click the box for available for draft and they should then show up in the draft pool.
Wondering why new players would show up as FA vs amateur draft

There's a way to enter their player ID into a file which I would then import historical players to the draft. I know because I've done it before, I just forgot how I did it

go to Free Agent page.
available actions menu on far right.
make sure which data base to use (historical_database.odb)
click on import historical player.
type in player ID (make certain to copy it exactly - they are case sensitive), type in year, check use minor league data base. check put in draft pool.
should work.if you can see the draft pool, make certain player is there before deleting the one in the FA pool.
good luck.
