Player Rankings

July 18, 2002 at 02:19AM View BBCode

You can now see how your players stack up against the rest of the league in terms of stats. It goes position by position. Check it out, its under League and its called Player Rankings.

I'm going to be adding some more to it, hopefully by the end of the night. Including the ability to look at Ratings instead of Stats.

I just added Age to these pages, and fixed a bug with the sorts on the pitcher part of it.

I added in the ability to look at skill ratings in addition to stats. Check it out, its pretty cool.

How come no overall on the ratings rankings? It seems that would be a natural for looking for a player, especially a pitcher. I would like to see that category added.

Is there any way that the pitchers could be divided into SP and relievers?

The overall rankings are a nice addition.

Possibly. For skill ratings C+ Endurance and better is a starter? B- and better?

For stats, more than half of their games are games started to qualify as a starter?

Anyone have any preferences?

I accually haven't noticed any C+ enduance pitchers but that seems like a good cut off.

I have a C- endurance pitcher pitching for me in the Willie Mays League.

Before anyone says something, he was the best pitcher I had last season, he got older and CONSIDERABLY less able to stay in the ball game, I think he's only qualified to get the win 3 or 4 times but has a .84 ERA. :(

As awsome as he has been (I can vouch for that) I think MichaelsĀ  is an exception. Not many owners would have enough guts to try him as a SP (including myself) so this should be a rare exception.

Love this feature

Awesome job, Tyson -- this makes it much easier to research trades, assess your players in an overall league context, etc.

One suggestions -- it would be nice to be able to filter the lists. For example, when looking at catchers, I'm not really interested in seeing some back-up guy who went 3 for 7 and is at the top of the list. It would be helpful to be able to exclude part time players -- perhaps by presenting an option to filter out players who don't qualify for the league lead -- similar to how it works on the current leaders page.

Finally, I agree that it would be nice to separate starters and relievers. For stats, I agree that if more than half their appearances are as a starter, then that's how they would be classified. For starters, I would say C+ endurance or more is a starter. Certainly there are people with C endurance who are starting and there are B+ endurance guys filling a long-relief role, but you've got to draw the line somewhere and I think C+ endurance and above as starters makes sense.

C+ endurance seems the right cutoff. Not really important how pitchers are being used on other teams in this context as much as how they CAN be used.

hcboomer, good point. That is definitely the key.

I added in the RP and SP stuff. It was much easier than I thought, only took a couple minutes.

I've said it before, but I'd really like to see OPS listed on the stat pages. Would it be that difficult to implement?

I started this at one point. Let me finish it, I actually thought about it while doing this page and thought that I would have to come back and do OPS.

I'll try to get it in for the next release of the site (next week).

One problem with the player rankings.

When you select SP and try to sort by another type of stat or ranking (aside from the default, ERA and overall). The selected position goes bact to the default (relief pitchers).

Anyone follow?

Aside from that the player rankings page is awsome

Just fixed that bug, thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks for adding "everyone" and "all outfielders" as pull down selections -- I appreciate the quick response and really love this feature.

The only thing I saw "wrong" in my opinion is it includes everyone. I think, at least on the stats pages, that it would be better to qualify the stats (3.1 ABs per game, or perhaps at least 1.5 ABs per game...) otherwise this is a very cool add.
