MLSD update and MIGRATION!

I've updated the MLSD through games of July 6th.  In much bigger and better news, I've finally moved the whole shebang to a prettier, database-backed site independent of Brew Crew Ball.  Check it out here:

www.MinorLeagueSplits.com

I encourage you to check out the new site and poke around.  Consider yourselves my alpha-testers...I wrote most of the code for that site without an internet connection, and it's my first try at web programming, so there are probably mistakes.  

I hope you like the simple design--for the most part, I stole it from a very popular website that most of you are probably familiar with.  

Bigger news, though, is that along with moving the site to a new home, I added some new features that I've long wanted to include:

  • A player search function, so you don't have to hunt through league and team lists to find a certain player.

  • For players who have been on multiple teams, there are always links to their splits for those other teams, so you can quickly compare, for instance, Yovani Gallardo's A-ball performance with his Double-A dominance.

  • Along the same lines, you can also see a player's cumulative splits if he has spent time with multiple teams.

  • I've saved what I think is the best for last: now you can see a full-season game log for every Minor League player.  You'll find out how the player performed (including batted-ball types) every day he's been in the lineup, and you can see the progression of his averages throughout the season.  The game log feature is a bit slow, because the site generates those tables when you click on them--I'd like to pre-generate all of them for you, but there are over 5,000 players in the database, so it's far from practical when the alternative is waiting a few seconds.

In the next couple of days, I'll shift entirely to the new site and stop updating the one here.  I purposely didn't link to any of the features I mentioned because I want at least a few of you to head over and explore.  Let me know what you think--it's a work in progress; most of all I just want it to be as functional as possible.

Fantastic Web Accomplishment
Jeff:

Have only been looking at Brew Crew for a few days.  Besides having a brother in-law who lives in Milwaukee, the Brew connection here has been most enjoyable.  I was planning on visiting frequently, but know that I have seen your global approach to tracking minor league stats - I will be back as a regular.  Thanks for hitting a grand slam home run.

Minor League Splits
I've found a major problem involving pitchers who have pitched for more than one team.  Look at Kevin Slowey of the New Britain Rock Cats, for example.  He's pitched 5 innings against LHB since coming to New Britain.  He had 42.7 IP against them in Fort Myers.  So he should have 47.7 IP against lefties in total.  But his cumulative stats show only 14.2 IP vs. LHB.  It looks like you divided the Fort Myers IP by 3 instead of simply adding the two numbers together.

good catch
turned out that was two problems in one, both of which are tremendously boring, one of which was obvious and the other just aggravated me a great deal.

thanks for pointing that out.  should be fixed now.

fixed
actually, the last 600 players I added to the database didn't get included on rosters.  When I update tonight, that'll be resolved.  Thanks for pointing it out.

Looks great now!
Outstanding job, Jeff!  Thank you.

Now, if I can make a suggestion: it is fun to track the year-to-date stats in the daily log.  But why not include W/9, K/9 and HR/9 for pitchers?  Other stats worth tracking: G/F ratio, L %.

I'll consider adding those
Initially my idea was to prevent the table from getting too wide for most screens, but it does look like I have a little bit more room to work with.
