Braves are done! (sort of)

OK. The All-Time Braves are updated.  Everyone has a picture, and everyone has the stats that I was able to get.  For some reason Chipper Jones and Warren Spahn still weren't working. (Like I said before: Nobody important.)

But I think this will be the format moving forward, warts and all.

Oh, there is one other thing...

There are a LOT of 1800's guys on the team. And that's fine, but there's juts one reliever - Rick Camp. (Who's an asshole.)  I would LOVE to find a way to put Gene Garber on the team, and given my methodology for Relievers, I would have to take Steve Bedrosian as well.  (That's assuming I'm not missing anyone, I'll have to check.)  To add both I'd have to take out Jack Stivetts and Dick Rudolph. 

I think I'm going to do that. Two well-known relievers, one a future Cy young winner (albeit with a different team) and the team's All-Time Saves Leader for 2 (of several) 1800's guys? 

Yeah... I think I'll be changing that. We'll see.

(Let me know what you think.)

Work in Progress; All-Time Braves Updated

Well, I've updated the All-Time Braves to the 2012 All-Time Roster, using the Stats-Sharing tool from Baseball-Reference.com, and their new WAR formula / calculations. Please check out that page and let me know what you think.

Couple things...

1) Only Hank Aaron has a picture. Everyone will eventually, but right now it's just Hammerin' Hank. (I'll try to get at least a few more posted tonight.)

2) Personally I'm not crazy about the look / presentation. BUT it is a HELL of a lot faster than what I was doing before, and updating pages in future seasons will be a snap.  If I can clean up the format a little, make it more consistent looking, I will.

3) This format show Black Ink (Lead League, Lead Majors) but not Grey Ink (top 10.) I'm kind of miffed about that but given how much easier and faster this is, I think the trade off is worth it.

4) There were some bugs, and for some reason it wouldn't let me run a report on Chipper Jones or Warren Spahn. (You know... Nobody important. *rolls eyes* ) I've reported this to Baseball-Reference.com via both comments on their blog and e-mail. I'll update those guys as soon as they fix it.

5) Another bug prevented me from including any post-season stats for anyone who played only one post-season series. So quite a few of those are missing...

6) ...And the way the post season tool works, I can show career total with just one team, if their only Series of a given time was with just that one team. (Does that make sense?)  Basically, if a guy has two WS with the Braves and one with the Cardinals, I can show the two WS individually, but not his TOTALS with just the Braves. I can show the totals for ALL THREE WS, but I don't want to do that. So some guys don't have their Post Seasons TOTALS listed. (Individual series are still shown, of course, assuming the sharing tool worked.)  Again, I'll update that if Baseball-Reference.com adds that feature.

Other than that? I really like this tool. It's a LOT easier, and I think I'll be able to make more frequent updated moving forward using it.

All-Time Red Sox page is completed!

I've finished the All-Time Red Sox page. These first couple pages are going pretty quickly, since I already had 90-some% of the Pictures and Stats collected, from earlier version of the teams. The Yankees are the same way, so I'll be doing them next. It will be the Giants and Dodgers after them. I only have about half of the pictures and stats that I need for those two , so they're next, but they might take a little bit longer. After that, I'll probably alternate by doing whole teams and individual players, we'll see.

Also, I need to update one of the Tigers' depth charts. The Designated Hitter list is incomplete.
