1. league (or team) rank in any of the major statistical categories
2. batting average with runners in scoring position
3. batting average with two outs and runners in scoring position
4. individual stats against the current opponent (team, batter, pitcher) so far this season (or lifetime)
5. team record against the current opponent so far this season
6. reference to milestones (e.g., number of all-star games, MVP awards, 500 home runs, etc.)
7. reference to player history (e.g., when drafted, when traded, when placed on DL for lengthy period of time, etc.)
8. current streaks (team or individual)
9. pinch hitting stats for a pinch hitter when he is announced
10. number of pitches thrown by SP when it approaches 90 or 100
11. reference to manager's name in PbP (as well as news stories)
12. reference to player's birthplace (e.g., "the Baltimore, Maryland native takes a look at ball two")
13. reference to a player being recently called up from the minor leagues or activated from the DL
etc., etc., etc.
Reason
To make the PbP "current" and to break up the monotony of the PbP.

Suggestion:
a second "announcer" who would add the above stats when batters come to the plate, between plays/pitches ect ect. these stats would be game, player(even L/R split specific), team or even stadium based depending on the situation. you could even make this second "announcer" an option you could turn on or off.
Reason:
I love managing games i just wish that the immersion factor was there as far as the play by play was concerned. i was honestly surprised that 2007 hadn't added many more of the splits and stats to the in game dialog. this to me is absolutely necessary. thanks for all the great work!
