When will the 2014 projections be available in the CDG? I have a major decision due by January 1 and some keeper trades to consider before then.

[RAY@HQ]

That's my project for next week, getting 2014 projections on the site. Aiming for Friday 12/20.

Thanks Ray.

the CDG seems to be non-operable at the moment. I was trying to utilize 2013 projections to compare to 2013 auction prices but couldn't generate any values at all.

[RAY@HQ]

There are no 2013 projections in the system. You can only use it when running against YTD values.

I am probably doing something wrong but I have used the CDG countless times with no issues at all. I am getting an error message to the effect that "too many players req'd ...." Which doesn't make any sense given the league/team configuration.

PRHood has been around long enough to not need the reminders, but for the sake of others reading this thread I'll point out:
- There often has been a day or two delay between when one can first see 2014 projections on the website and when they are good enough to use, so you might want to wait for the "all clear" signal first.
- Often we'll project more than 100% playing time for a position until midway through spring training or so when teams and roles become more clear. There also are other changes to the projections as we move along of course, but be aware in particular that some guys with dicey claims on their playing time may especially see their values fall.

Are you selecting "2013 projected" or "year to date" as your player universe? The former won't work at all. The latter should work, but we're actively rolling the site over to 2014 mode this weekend, so that might be disturbing the CDG temporarily.

[PRHood]

I was using the 2013 ytd option.

[RAY@HQ]

Ok, that's a temporary problem while we are transitioning between years.

that's a relief. Figured I had screwed something up thoroughly.

Me too . Glad I looked in the forums.
