Suggestion for a change to the "team" page

Posted By Jon

I have a suggestion for a minor update to the current TEAM page. Nowhere on the Purebaseball gamesite does it indicate what major league team a player is on. It would make things much easier for scouting purposes to add a TEAM column to one of the pages. Possibly the um, "team" page. I normally save and print out the current pages for my team anyway (Stats, Team, Ratings, Ext Fielding) and then insert my own TEAM column in an HTML editor. This update wouldn't add much space to the width of the page, and it would come in handy when scouting for some of the lesser known players or for ML teams that you don't follow to closely. I'm sure the only reason why a player's team isn't already listed within the stats or on their player card, is due to the information that PB uses from STATS. A once per year update to the PB database wouldn't be a large project though, manually inserting the team that a player was on in 99. This small update and extra column would certainly help if it was also included on the draft list page and the small player cards used in there (especially in those last rounds where we are creating lists of a bunch of nobodys. Anyone else see the value to this? BTW, I updated my team page and uploaded it to the web so you can see what I'm talking about. The teams that I listed are the players' team in 2000 though, even though these are 1999 stats.
