Hi, Getch! Really like the tool. My online league (MBWBA) just swapped over from StatsLab due to problems w/ v12 and the Dev report is miles better.

I do have a request for what I see is a glaring omission (not that you overlooked it, it just may have never climbed on the priority list): stats. What sports fans in the world loves stats more than baseball fans? In this area I think OOTPOU is severely lacking...as in, "I can't believe the tool has access to the database and this is all we get" lacking.

Just an example, on StatsLab I could see a stats page exactly like the "Sim Statistics" page in OOTPOU. But I could alter the date window to look at any time period I liked (i.e., not just the last sim and not just the default splits). This could be done at the team level, too, so I could see at a glance the impact of a trade I made on 4/25.

A few other stats-related stuff I'm having withdrawals over:

A way to view all of the game logs for a player. All I can see in OOTPOU is the last 10 games which is what's available in OOTP. This was invaluable to me in analyzing whether my pitchers performed better as starters or relievers.
More robust team stats. I loved that in StatsLab I could see runs scored per game and runs allowed per game broken down by innings. So I knew if my team was constantly getting off on the wrong foot, if the backend of my bullpen was failing, or if I needed to beef up middle relief or tell my manager to hook starters quicker.
The ability to dig as deep as I want into player stats. Ok, I cheated a bit here as there was a limit to what you could do in StatsLab. But with the data being there I don't see why I can't see a pitcher's stats per inning over the season, for instance. For batter's I can see how they performed in every spot they've occupied in the lineup and with every count.

In short, it seems like OOTPOU threw in the stats page for the last sim, but then left anything beyond that to just provided the same reports/screens that users can get in the client. We are stats junkies, man...give us our fix!
