Overview

This site contains information on my tools for the Diamond Mind baseball program. Currently I have two tools, DMB Roster Manager and BidDrafter. Only Roster Manager is under active development. The response to the BidDrafter program was less than enthusiastic so I decided to put it out to pasture. However, it does work so if anyone ever wants a copy, let me know.

Roster Manager DMB Roster Manager was built to let users manage the rosters of computer managers within a season. Currently, DMB is very poor at basic general manager functions. Managing injuries for 31 computer teams is tiresome at best. This tool manages the placement of injured players on the DL automatically, saving large amounts of time.

BidDrafter (no longer under active development)
The bid drafter program was built to allow an auction based draft among any number of humans or computer managers. The drafting program allows humans to bid from any windows computer that has access to the internet by connecting to the league commissioner's computer, which acts as the server. Any teams not filled by human managers can be enabled to run a configurable computer manager so that a full league can be used. An administration program exists to make the league commissioner's life easier by allowing import and export of player and team information directly from Diamond Mind.
