MACK/Custom Draft Guide enhancements now available!

[RobR]

It seems to be taking the freeze players and moving them to their keeper value, which doesn't account for inflation. If someone has Pujols for $10 but he is worth $40, then there is $30 available that shouldn't be. Instead, it seems to be just making Pujols a $10 player.

Denoting a keeper removes the kept salary and the players (their stats) from the pool available for pricing. In your example the $30 will be spread across a pool of players without Pujols' stats, inflating their value relative to your non-keeper league.

My league is announcing keepers today so I am entering them into MACK as the day goes on. Some of the keepers are being removed from the guide and others aren't. What could I be doing wrong?

No one should be removed from the guide, just relocated to a slot appropriate to their kept salary. Players with $0 salary set are currently being treated as if they weren't kept. In the coming days we'll add a "Keep Me" checkbox for clarity's sake.

Gotcha! Thanks.

Having trouble using the points format. If I select Rotisserie style the keeper feature works. If I select points I am getting an error saying:

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ' 1, 1)' at line 1 INSERT INTO temp_values_table (uid, playerid, rate, value, points, is_batter, is_keeper ) VALUES (50441, 3118, 0.75, 0.75, , 1, 1)

Additionally I cannot save 0s in the spot for MI and CI. I am in a dynasty league with no CI or MI spots.

[RobR]

Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Will take a look.

Can confirm that both issues are bugs. Expect it will be a day or two to fix.

Any word on these issues? Have to announce keepers this weekend and would love to utilize the new feature to figure out league inflation.

Thanks

[RobR]

You are not forgotten. Still working on the next release.

I'm having an issue with pitchers. I've input the keeper values, but now I get the pitcher listed twice, once at the keeper value and another time at what appears to be the actual value. I'm not sure the deal with that. And I don't know if that means that that values of the remaining available pitchers are not accurate. Not happening with the hitters.

[RAY@HQ]

If that happens, it's because you didn't put in a position with the pitchers on Team/Player Properties in MACK. Position needs to be '1' for pitchers, not 'P'. Fix that, duplication should go away.

[John54]

Thanks, I inputted position for the pitchers. Do I need to input positions for the hitters? Does it effect the results if I don't? Thanks.

[RAY@HQ]

Yes, everyone needs a numeric position. If they don't have a position, they end up in the output twice... once at market salary and once at keeper salary.

i can't log onto the custom draft. as you can see i am logged into forums though. this feature is really annoying and i dislike very much. should of kept it the same as last year.

[RAY@HQ]

I answered your other thread, stun.

My league's keeper announce date is 3 days before the 4/3 draft. Between now and then, I like to 'predict' who will be kept and see what that does to positional scarcity. I like to try a bunch of different scenarios.

The only way I can figure out how to do this with CDG/MACK is to enter the keeper salary and position for each player kept - and then manually delete both values if I don't think the player will be kept. I then need to look up each player's keeper value again if I ultimately predict he'll be kept.

In other words, is there a way to enter and preserve keeper salary values ahead of time for all players (those being kept and those not)?
