Importing Comments

I shot you a PM but this might be of interest to others. I have built up two months of comments in another database. Is there anyway of bulk importing these together with the "custom projections?"

I can repeat ithe private message here.  Your ideas is a good one, and we can have that ready for Monday.

Thanks

For hitters and pitchers, you can now add a column on the right of the csv holding a player comment.  These will import as a Custom Comment for the player.

Thanks!. I will try it tonight. Over the weekend I had no problems importing pitchers (this was before you added the comments column) but when it can to the hitters it was unable to match ANY of the hitters to the existing playerid and rejected all of them.

I will try again tonight with the comment column but any suggestions as to why this might have occured?

If you want to send me your hitter csv, I can see what's wrong. kslight@baseballmonster.com.

I'll repeat here for others what I said in my email response:

It looks like your first_name column had a preceding space before each name.  We can deploy a fix tomorrow, but if you remove that space, it should work.
