Linking Draft Data to Minors Data

Posted by Sean Forman on June 8, 2009

Amateur Draft: 3rd Round of the 2005 June Draft - Baseball-Reference.com.

It's a little late given the draft is tomorrow, but we've managed to get the 2005-2008 draftees linked to their minor league stats.  Previously only the major leaguers were linked to their stats.  This will make things a whole lot more useful as you can now see what a player was able to do even if he didn't make the majors.

Next on the list for the draft is.

1) Enter the 2009 draft.

2) Link pre-2005 seasons to minor league stats

3) Add a column for highest level reached in the draft output.

4) add draft info to the minor league pages.

    We have got the 2004 draft linked and the first ten rounds back to 1995 linked. Also, you will now see the draft info on the minor league player pages when we have it linked.
