Rookies By Year / Player Search / and more...

Randall · 01-28-2004, 09:20 AM

Ever wonder, if you should trade away your mid first rounder, because you are unsure of the depth of the next draft?

Ever wonder if you shoudl trrade away that 30+ year old guy for picks?

Ever wondered who are the upcoming rookies for a draft?

Ever wonder what year a certain rookie is set to be draftred?

Well wonder no more...

Rookies By Year using the Lahman db is here.

Many more features to come in this new and hopefully useful tool.

Basically the way is works is:

1) You log in using the demo login and pass provided
2) You choose a year or player name, or combination of the two, you want to see
3) If you want, you can sort by certain fields
4) You click on Help if you want to see what is coming up in new versions soon, or how to use it

Yes, much of this information is at baseballreference.com, however, as I add more to this, I hope to make it a one stop show, eliminating the need for baseballreference.com. My goal is to add on more features as I am able, to make this a complete tool for anything you'd wish to know about historical players...

My currently planned goals for the nes few days is to fill out the player pages showing their stats for each year, with totals.

After that I will do a year search that shows all teams which were around that year (or search on a team name and find out what years they existed, or a city t0 find out all teams ever in it)...
This shoudl help leagues that like to follow MLB expantion...

Another idea is to pick a year, and see all players that were on MLB rosters that year, and their stats for that year (sortable by team, stats, etc).

After that I plan on looking through baseballreference.com and seeing what other ideas I can get from there...

Also QUITE interested in what people would find interesting to see on a site like this. I have full access to the lahman db, which I have converted into SQL Server, so any stats that are in there, I can pull out.

And if you have questions or comments or ideas, you can contact me...

Added in the Player Page.

Now when you see the list of players, if you click on a player, you'll see their stats broken down by year...

This is a great tool especially when making long term plans in an online league.

Randall · 02-24-2004, 05:13 PM

Thanks...

I'm going to be adding soem things soon to help know when to do expantion, etc...

Than after that, I have a FEW ideas, but I am begining to run short on ideas, so I'll probably just field ideas from the boards...

GREAT!!!

If only you could incorporate this to work with Cato's history I'd be in heaven

and you online guys are cheaters

Randall · 02-26-2004, 08:06 AM

I have actually thought of creating a history module similar to Cato's. I may actually contact him to work with him on it...
