News Home

December 4,2004 - It seems like every other week, we're redesigning the site but I think we've finally settled on a layout. All of the same features and data are still where they used to be. The only real difference is the formatting of the data, the layout and the addition of Transactions data.

The reason for the constant reorganization is that there are several factors that need to be considered when building a web site. I have found that the site is useful as far as information goes but is not really the easiest site in the world to read. And so I have tried my best to resolve that issue by keeping a similar layout for each page. There is a basic formula for all content page in which you'll see a page title, text links and then some content. The content should all have silmilar styles and additional page links for the content will appear on the left hand side above the table of contents. For example, on player pages, links for Batting, Pitching, Fielding and other relevant topics will appear above the table of contents.

As always with new deployments, there is the possibility of bugs and errors. If you see anything, don't be shy and email me to let me know. I'll soon be posting a survey for the visitors of the site to get some feedback on what you think about the new layout and how I can make the site even better.

The only real new content feature on the site is the addition of player transactions to the site. There are 3 separate views of this data which was extracted from the Retrosheet web site with permission. The first view is by player and this data will appear as a link on all player pages. Even players without transactions will have this link and its not a trick to try to get more page views but more of a design decision to not have to do extra processing to determine whether a player has any transactions in our database. The second view is at the team level. You can see transactions by team for any given season. Finally, you can get a complete view for a full season of transactions on the year in review pages for the major leagues only.

I'm going to be refocusing on data enhancement soon by trying to improve player profiles for new minor leagues and if possible, to fill in minor league statistics for as many MLB players throughout history as possible. There's also an initiative to post complete minor league statistics for all leagues from 1998 to 2001. Currently, the data is not complete for these seasons.

Thanks again for the continued support of the site and don't forget that this is interactive and I would like to get as much feedback from people as possible to help me produce the site that you are looking for.
