Roark, the Invisible Gorilla - when did he get in the daily projections ?

I checked my lineups about 30 minutes before game time and I'm pretty sure I would have noticed a pitcher with those numbers - Ratio 56.382, Value 42.85, Price $7,600. Instead I picked Sanchez who had a higher price and almost half the value of Roark. And right now, after the game is over, it shows Roark's value as the exact number he actually got during the game.

So what's going on? Did I really miss seeing the gorilla in the room? Almost 40% of my competitors knew about him somehow and used him today.

I'm fairly new at MLB fantasy and at BM but I'm trying to get a handle of how things work here.

Was Roark added to the projections at the last minute at BM or was he there all along with those gigantic numbers?
(I only downloaded the Hitter numbers today so I couldn't check).

Hey, BM looks like the cat's meow to me with all it's features but I need to draft the best players everyday and I can't be missing someone like Roark. And if he wasn't in the projections until the last minute how did 40% of my competitors find out about him? Is there better information out there?

If you uncheck the "Show Actual Results if Available" box and refresh, then you'll see what our actual projections were heading in. Once a player's team box score has been processed then it'll show his actual results (hence the 50+ ratio) instead if you have that box checked. So long story short, no you didn't miss him today.

Thanks for the quick reply.

So if I had unchecked that box while creating my early lineups, refreshed, I would have seen Roark ahead of time (30-60 minutes) with all his glorious numbers?

Sorry - I see Roark's pre-game numbers now. Not too impressive. He just had a great game.

Sorry for the confusion.
