MLBDepthCharts Magazine Organizational Depth Charts

One very important feature that will be included for subscribers of the soon-to-be-released MLBDepthCharts Magazine is access to updated organizational depth charts for each of the 30 teams, which I've spent a good amount of time putting together. I'm still adding the finishing touches on them and the rest of the features of the magazine so website posts will be minimal until early January. For now, take the time to sign up for the Free Trial and preview some of the regular features that will be part of the digital magazine.

A depth chart can be as simple as listing names under each position but there's a lot more to it than that if we are to truly understand the state of each team at any particular position. These organizational depth charts that I'm creating will be updated regularly with 2011 stats, age, date of birth, position(s), height, weight, when drafted/signed as amateur, how acquired, contract, service time, 2011-12 salary, and 2011-12 prospect rankings by Baseball America and Baseball Prospectus. In other words, you should be able to learn a lot about a major league organization by looking at these.

I've sent one example (St. Louis Cardinals) to subscribers of the Free Trial. Sign up now and you'll also get the Offseason Trade Tracker, Free Agent Tracker, Roster Projection Grid, and much more. It's important to hear your feedback so I can make any necessary changes or additions before the official release.
