Site Fixes (12/20/2010)
Posted by Neil Paine on December 20, 2010
Notes on a few minor site fixes/additions over the past week:
- Countries of birth were fixed in Play Index and Bio Section (bug was caused by some countries being erroneously listed as their ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes). Also, fixed Curacao birthplaces.
- Fixed "all teams" bug in PI Event Finders (searches for "all player outs" and "all teams" in a given season were failing)
- Added "at least/at most" option to Batting Season Finder under "defensive position" (now allows you to find players who played less than a given # or % of games at a position)
- Added black ink to single-season Finder searches (represents league leader in a category)
- Updated 2010 franchise retired numbers (Frank Thomas, Luis Gonzalez, Tom Glavine, Whitey Herzog, Jon Miller/Monte Irvin)
- Added note about neutralized run environments to League Neutralized Batting & Pitching pages (stats are neutralized to a 4.42R/G and 162-game season)
- Fixed duplicate substitutions bug in some older boxscores
- Fixed a glitch in neutralized stats that was causing "Gact" to be corrupted for some players
As always, email us and let us know about any site bugs or potential features you'd like to see.

The black ink is a great addition--thanks!
Might it be possible at some point to add an option to the season finder to ignore seasons at the beginning of a career with, say, fewer than X games played or Y plate appearances, for the purposes of looking at what players did in their first year (or first 5 years or whatever), in order to eliminate one or more cups of coffee at the start?

How does the at most option work? If I want to find players who didn't play more than 25% of their games at any one position, which options would I use. None of the searched that I've tried seem to work.
