Favorite dwarf from the Disney movie. Why that dwarf?

Dustin Pedroia, He has the best OBP of any of them.

Ha!

I really hope that BBRef doesn't change it's clean/quick page design.
Pictures and uniforms would be nice, but not if slows down or clutters the pages too much.

One thing I do think BR is missing --

Catcher SBA/CS numbers...

They could put in pictures and uniforms, but in a separate environment. Don't put them on the player pages; make a separate team page with the pictures and the uniforms, linked from the main team page.

Or they could just not put them in at all. I'd be more interested in the minor-league stats. Heck, I'd rather have umpire pages than pictures and uniforms.

But do you want them badly enough to sponsor a Cowboy Joe West page?

I guess Chris was hiding in Sean's back yard one time too many, when he got caught; night vision goggles still on his head. So he interviewed him. That's fast thinking on his part.

zonk...just e-mail sean. he's really great about feedback and making updates to the webpage.

Fielding leaderboards would be really nice. I'm going to keep mentioning that in every B-Ref thread :)

i never knew furtado was a fire fighter

i thought he was a, uh, computer guy

seeing as how i just got a copy of the houston firefighters calendar emailed to me i am now thinking about furtado in a whole, uh, different way i didn't even think was possible

I wish there were Picked Off stats. As far as I knon, Picked Off is different than Caught Stealing.

EDIT: Re: Baserunners

Can we just give Forman a Nobel Prize? At least a MacArthur genius grant.

Things I'd like to see from this already a-mazing site:
-batting leaderboards by position
-fielding leaderboards...uh, by position too
-the aforementioned SB/CS/PKoff for C and P
-minor league stats going way back for player, teams, leagues (minor league PFs would be awesome but probably not possible)

player comps using neutralized stats

I believe Jim runs the computer system for the fire dept. in which he works.

the houston firefighters calendar

What he does outside of his get-out gear (fireman lingo...thanks pop!) is beyond me.

repoz

well, lets just say the houston firefighters look like they were, uh, getting out of their gear you know what i'm sayin

Good suggestions!

(neutralized comps, minor league stats going..., steals stuff,...)

Something I'd like to see is pitchers' batting average against & oba against (along with maybe a homer rate stat).
And compared to league / park average, like is done for hitters.

Well, and the DRA historical defensive measure, someday.

Is there an easy way to get Team Leaderboards the way you can get Player Leaderboards? E.g. which team has the best OBP of all time? Adjusted OPS+?

Dateline: Houston

A local woman was reprimanded today for calling the fire department three separate times for minor issues. In the last call, she requested "Send the hot ones."

Just a few comments ...

Some years ago I was involved in a few bar fights; I now try to avoid them. If Sean and I were ever involved in a bar fight by happenstance, I'm sure we would be on the same side.

I once was a dashing figure in my bunker gear; I'm now better described as a plodding figure in dress slacks.

There is nothing like the flexibility of a firefighters schedule. Just about all firefighters have a side job. Although most work in the trades, I work with quite a few lawyers, accountants, web designers, insurance salesmen, insurance adjusters, graphic designers, and a bunch of other occupations. The percentage of firefighters with bachelor and post-graduate degrees (mostly liberal arts, including quite a few English and philosophy majors) grows every day. Most of the non-tradesman have relatives (fathers, uncles, etc.) who were firefighters or policeman. (My father was a police officer for twenty-three years and my brother is a police lieutenant with over twenty years on the job.) The lure of public service, the camaraderie of my fellow firefighters, and the thrill of running into burning buildings are very appealing aspects of the job. For the last one-and-a-half years, however, the only fires I've put out have been in my gas grill. That's because most of my time at work is spent at fire headquarters working as the department's I.T. manager.

One thing I'd love to see in the Play Index would be an option to search by a player's "official" rookie season--leaving out the cups of coffee where a player got fewer than 130 AB or 50 IP.
