I was doing my 1986 draft yesterday. I had an idea and just interested in some feedback on this. I was thinking it would be cool to have another page attached to the draft log page to view a breakdown on how your prospects panned out. I think it will be interesting to look at say your 1988 draft 20 years later and see which of your prospects made it to the bigs and the overall performance for each draft class. The data is all there already b/c the draft log already has links to the player's pages which contain the stats. It would be cool to analyze even a draft from 2 years previous b/c you can see "highest level" achieved in the page that I'm envisioning.

Another thing that I was thinking was something common in a IRL team's media guide. It's like a current team list of players, some personal data like DOB, residence/born, height weight, and how they were acquired. examplehttp://pressbox.mlb.com/pressbox/dow...layers_a_j.pdf (seen at the top of each players profile in the link)
and so on, like this:
Joe Catcher 6'1" 220, 5/11/73, hanover, germany, signed as a free agent on November 12, 2006
and so on...
John FirstBase was drafted in the 6th round in 2002
Jerry SecondBase was claimed in the Rule V draft in 2007
Ed Superstar was traded to the White Sox in 2005 for a bunch of nobodies.

Comments?
