I'll bet your wife can add the "Take out the trash" and "Mow the lawn" commands to far more complex programs, too. Show off.

Ok, some suggestions from me:
1. Trade history tracking - there's currently no easy way to look back on historical trades. Even if it's just a listing in the database that we can review and click on the players, that'd be great.

2. Add stint to the data dump for player statistics. e.g. Bob Jones is traded from the Yankees to the Angels and then back to the Yankees. The DB should have the stats labeled as stint 1, 2, and 3, allowing people to differentiate between the 1st and 2nd Yankees stint, as well as the order of when Jones played for the Angels.

3. Better financial AI - this is vague, but the financial AI is very week when it comes to multiple financial leagues in the same world. Players should have league preferences (say for MLB over NPB), and teams should be able to understand the concept of acquiring players from independent minor leagues. There's just so much to be done here.

4. Additional/Alternate Team Nicknames - these could be used in the news articles to change things up a bit. Would include things like "Sawx" as an alternate for "Red Sox", or even allow people to apply temporary nicknames to teams such as "Blake Street Bombers" that might only stick for a few seasons.
