Since it is the off season

Can we get some fixes made to Stats to improve Usability????

While the current fantasy site works and functions well, there are many places were it isn't very usable. These aren't huge changes, but would dramatically improve the overall experience. Here is my personal list of things I would ask to be improved. For example

1. League Standings: ESPN manages to show exactly where your team is on a single page where you can do various sorts by category, versus a giant multi page standings sheets. Infact, their matrix format makes it much simpler to see team by team comparisons. Here is a link to see what I mean:

http://games.espn.go.com/cgi/flb/Reques ... eIDTo=1331

VERY EASY, VERY USEFUL CHANGE: 2. Player profiles: a) Why in the world isn't there an ability to 'Add Free Agent' on the detailed player profile page? While you are researching, it would be nice to immediately place a bid.

b) Why can't you see more than 1 weeks worth of game log stats for a player? Sometimes it would be nice to see the last month, or since the beginning of the year...

3. Player Rating system. I don't know the math of this, but the player rating system seems WAY off... This may be hardest to change however.

4. Team home page. On ESPN, you can see on 1 page, what your team has done to date AND last night. Much easier to deal with. Here is a link:

http://games.espn.go.com/cgi/flb/Reques ... DTo=135621

5. Player position availability. Why can't the positions a player is elgible to play be shown directly on the Set Lineup page?

6. Games started. It would be very helpful on the free agent pitcher list to show # of games started.

All in all, very small things, but they would really make this web site much better spend time on. What do other people think? What other areas aren't as usable as they should be?

Great suggestions, Spyhunter.

I would also like to click on a players name and not only see who owns him in my league but in other leagues also. This would also tell us what the percetage of ownership on each player overall without STATS funky ownership percentage. Seeing guys like Jose Reyes as being 95% owned last year was just wrong.

Good ideas Spy. I do need to say that FA pichers did show games started as I frequently used that category to check the last week or month or season todate.

Glad you guys agree.

Plymouth, I don't remember seeing it on the table pages (it was on the detailed profiles I think)

Maybe this was mentioned but be able to click on team name anywhere on the standings page and see that team. If I am competing with a team in steals- want to be able to see who they own right of the steals standings etc.
