Where the hell is Jim Palmer?

SittingDuck · 05-22-2008, 08:56 PM

OK, I think I need some help in reading the Lahman database.

I've played 1963-1966 and not seen Palmer come into the league. What on earth is happening?

SittingDuck · 05-22-2008, 09:11 PM

Hmmm. Found him in the '64 draft using the default master.csv

But I could never get him to show using the GAMBO DB. Can someone explain why?

He imports in 1963 as a rookie in my database. Don't know what the issue could be.

Thanks - that would be it. I did a 1964 league with your DB, and a 1963 league with the default db. So that explains the issue.

Question: if I set the minimum age in the league to 17 (for a historical league, obviously), would that delay the year the players enter? For example, would Bench come in a year later at 17 instead of 16?

Maybe Palmer was hanging out with Waldo and Carmen Sandiego.

Sorry, had to do it.

Honestly, I didn't get that for a minute or so. I'm a little slow at times, I guess.

Anyhow, one good one deserves another...

Come here a sec -

You know, I've created several '63 leagues with your database and he never imports.

Looking at the Gambo 1.75 pure DB, he should import in '63. I also took a look at Garlons DB and Lahman 5.4, and for both of those DB's it looks like Jim would import in '65

It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you.
