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:
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
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.

Looks great now!
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 %.
