New possibility...

OK, being that the A's are my second team, I often peruse sites relating to them at well. I was over at www.athleticsminors.com/ and saw this nifty little tool. If you click on "Tools" on the sidebar, and click on "Acquired Flow" it takes you to a page that shows how everybody on the 40 man roster it's pretty cool. Think that would be doable?

This is something we can look at implementing, sure. It's actually easier for them to do it, because it's all static text. Brewerfan.net is database driven, so i'd have to build something onto the site to get the information and and out. It shouldn't be THAT hard tho.

ahhh.... there's square's picture again. I feel better now.... things are back to normal.

I agree that that is a cool feature.

bump

[squarepusher]

No need to bump, it's already on my to-do list. See the above pinned thread.

Here's a preliminary version of this feature:

I still need to do the database work to wire acquisitions together to form the chain.

Updates to this page:

From a historical point of view, until I get more of the old traded players entered into the database, this is as far back as I can go with the transaction tree.

 

I'll add more data and tweak the layout a bit when I have more time, but the base structure and most of the data is there now.

This is complete....

That is very cool.

 

One problem I found though is that it says Sam Narron was claimed off of waivers from the Milwaukee Brewers. I know that you meant claimed by the Brewers from the Rangers.

That's cool. We can trace Obie back to Greg Vaughn. Wow. I remember trying to do this by hand one time. WTG!
