NEW FEATURES ON TEAM PAGES

Well, not every team page just yet. The new features were added to the AL and NL East while the 4 other divisions should hopefully be done by the end of the week. Take a look and let me know what you think.

  1. Prospects ranked in the top 11 by Baseball Prospectus are now indicated in green with their ranking. i.e. - (BP #1). Baseball America's top 10 prospects for each team are indicated in blue.
  2. All minor league players are linked to their minorleaguebaseball.com player page. Clicking on the link will open up a new page so you won't have to leave the site.
  3. In addition to the minor league sections entitled, "Next in Line" and "On the Fast Track", I have added a section called "Under the Radar". While most players in the the "Next in Line" section are in AAA and all players "On the Fast Track" are either ranked by BA or BP or have been placed on the team's 40-man roster, "Under the Radar" can include anybody else in the system. Since these players aren't recognized as top prospects, they'll have to put up some pretty ridiculous numbers to make the list, which will be updated weekly.
