At-A-Glance Info

adaman77 · 01-21-2014, 06:40 PM

In my fictional league, I don't really know a lot of the players. I know some of the big names, and obviously I know my whole team, but there are lots of transactions going on with names that don't jump out at me. It's kind of annoying that, when I get an email telling me that Indianapolis and Houston have traded 3 players for 2 players, and I don't recognize the names, I have to click on each name individually, see the guys ratings, his stats, his age, etc., and then click back and do it again.

This also comes up when I look in a player's history and want to see how a trade I made worked out. I have to check a lot of names to see what they're up to.

It would be a nice if I could mouse over a name and see some at-a-glance info. Age, team/level, scout's overall and potential ratings, maybe a slash line and a WAR value for a hitter, and wins, ERA, and WAR for pitchers.

I like this idea. Like, really like it. Would want to invite it to move in with me, like.

Possible improvement ideas:
Ranking as a top-100 prospect current (and peak? in case of player who's prospect stock has fallen and/or is no longer prospect eligible)
ML debut season (if applicable)
Draft info, or otherwise how he came into league (IFA, established IFA, indy league, trade with another league, etc)
