Ideas, now that it is down to just subscribers

1) What will happen to leagues where nobody is playing anymore? I am in two FastSim leagues, and in each of them there are only two active teams left. What happens if we leave the leagues? Do they keep simming by themselves?

2) It would be nice to have a feature where before you wanted to join a league, you could take a look at any team's roster. If I want to decide which team to join in a league now in 2006, for example, it might be nice to take a look at players and their salaries before joining.

3) It might be nice to add to the "history" page the ability to go back in time to see each year's standings, or a list of World Series winners by year, rather than having to go through each team's individual history. Also it might be nice to have a historical record of which players won the major awards (Cy, MVP, ROY) each year.

4) I appreciate that the main players page lists OBP as well as BA, but it might be better to list OPS.

The league will not end as long there is just ONE player left in the league.

2. This is a new feature. You can login to "Guest Mode" and look around the whole league.

3. The best way to solve this is to post them in the league forum for records. This is done in most private leagues.

4. What's OPS?

You guys call OPS PRO. OPS is OnBase + Slugging. PRO is a great number which is in the secondary stats.

I believe in the 80's Bill James coined the term "Production" for On Base Percentage + Slugging Percentage. That's where 'PRO' comes from.
