TTM Database Help?

[jasongerman9]

Hi all-

Don't post much here (in fact, I think this is my first post at all on this website!). However, I am an avid user of the TTM database, and I enjoy adding new addresses when I can. I have a card I am sending out next week to a Reds prospect playing for the Dayton Dragons. His name is Luis Gonzalez, which brings me to my issue. I want to add him to the database, but the only Luis Gonzalez listed is the former Diamondbacks player. Should I add a new player under the same name? Or should I just not add a young, unproven, still-in-the-minors rookie to the database just yet? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Yes you should add a new player and I would place either birth date or Reds prospect in the notes to help others differ between the two players so the young kid does not get hit with a ton of auto requests of the old slugger! Best of luck on your mailings and thanks for posting on SCF!

That's kind of what I was thinking. Thank you!

Yes, please put (born 2001) or (Reds Prospect) in parathesis after the last name, thanks!

I changed it into a new player, and differentiated it from the other Luis Gonzalez.

arfmax-

I see that. I thought that by adding a new player and using the same name it would come up separately and I could just use the notes section to differentiate. Guess it didn't work like that. I appreciate you setting that straight and not jumping down my throat on that - my mistake!

No problem at all, there are a couple of quirks with the TTMM, and different players/same names is one of them, but that's what we are here for!
