Add "Position" column to statlines
See my "Awards" column for some of this, but here's Robin Yount's BBRef entry for the sake of reference:
https://www.baseball-reference.com/p...ountro01.shtml You can see at a glance that he started out as a shortstop and in 1985 he moved to the outfield, where he stayed the rest of his career. I'd love to see something similar that I can add into a player card for batting stats. Yes, I can just go over to the player's fielding page, click a couple times to get to their career stats, and peruse that, but... a. Zero clicks is almost always a better UX than 3 clicks, and b. I don't necessarily want to see all that defense-related info. Sometimes I just want to see where a player played in seasons past and if they started for their team there. Even if I've accepted the worse UX in going to look at defense, it can be really hard to suss this information out on tht page. Ideally, the way BBRef denotes this is: - Players are shown at the classic position numbers (1 for pitcher, 2 for catcher, etc.). In DH leagues, that position is shown as "D". - If a guy was the starter at a position (i.e. played the most games for his team) he gets a star by it. I realize that you'd probably have to either add a line to your player stats DB or make a bunch of extra calls on each screen so personally I think I'd be A-OK if you just added the star if a player started... just using an arbitrary number, more than half of his team's games there. - There is a slash (/) between positions a player played at least 10 games at and the ones he did not. - There is also a listing for pinch-hitters (H) and pinch-runners (R). I don't know that OOTP logs those differences in the database but it would be cool at least to see that represented. If that's too tough, I personally would be OK with this aspect as a stretch goal. Hope that explains the story well enough!
