Cato not calculating pitching win shares

sporr · 09-10-2004, 01:22 PM

In our 1st season under OOTP6 and Cato 6.14, the cato program does not seem to be calculating pitching win shares for some reason. It has worked fine for all past seasons (all of which were OOTP5 files and prior versions of Cato).

As you can see here under team winshares:

A few teams actually have pitching win shares calculated for them, but most have a -0.02 or similar number for that category. All National League teams are like this as well. In addition, individual pitchers have no pitching win shares listed for them for the latest season.

I'm seeing the same thing (half the teams from two years ago, and all the teams from last year), and I remember getting an error message during the last two data imports... something about a null value. Do you recall any error messages, sporr?

I decided that I didn't care about win shares that much, so I never looked into it.

Just looking at this a bit closer... and the team where it seemed to quit working for me had a guy who allowed one hit in zero IP.

So I checked yours, sporr, and the team where yours quit, Chicago (A), has a guy with negative 2/3 IP. (On the bright side, he has a negative ERA too!)
