From Clay at BP:
UPDATE 2/11/09
OK, we’ve got a few more bases covered. In the PFM, all the fielding data should be up-to-date, so Ryan Braun is back to being an exclusive left fielder. There was a pretty big problem with the players I added manually, as a temporary patch - Moyer, Uehara, and a few more. We got the programs to read their data, and so now they show up in the PFM and in the depth charts - trouble was, “WHIP” wasn’t one of the fields I initially entered, and when the PFM saw guys with 100 innings and a zero WHIP it gave them all Sabathia-sized contracts. That is fixed. These players still don’t have entries in all fields, though, and if your league uses one of the un-entered fields those players could still have strange results.
On the depth charts, the batting/onbase/slugging digits problems has been broken, fixed, re-broken, and re-fixed, and I think I know where I made the mistake that re-broke them so it should (fingers crossed) not happen again, unless I come up with a third way to break them. The quality start numbers have been largely repaired, but more in the sense of a field dressing than a proper fix; I’ll revisit them shortly.What else - I’m going to redo the way saves are handled tonight, so expect the PFM pitcher results to look a lot better tomorrow morning. Braden Looper signed with the Brewers yesterday, so I had him displace some of the spot starters on their roster. I fixed a typo that had Josh Willingham drawing 5% of left field time instead of 75%. I’d like to get the PECOTA-based Playoff Odds report up and running in the next couple of days, and play around with some of the remaining free agents.
