Manage Your Depth Chart

Posted: 2/21/2010

Borrowing from some of the real baseball sites, I've created a depth chart tool that allows you to visualize your squad by position -- it's now a link inside each team's clubhouse page. By default, each player is assigned to his primary position -- that which he appeared at the most in 2009 MLB. However, from your profile, you can manage your depth chart, assigning players to different positions and setting the rank order (0 is on top, then number 1 for the first backup, etc.). This feature has no official bearing, obviously, but I think it's a great way to quickly visualize how different teams are shaping up.

Card Ratings Added

Posted: 2/10/2010

Rosters and the free agent list have been updated with actual fielding and endurance ratings (thanks to Mike for help), as well as actual lefty/righty ratings for both pitchers and batters. Like last year, I calculated these ratings based on card numbers and a neutral (1-10) ballpark, with 100 being league average, above 100 being pro-offense, below 100 being pro-defense. (If you're a pitcher, a 50 is excellent -- but not if you're a hitter).
