So, you would basically have a full page view of your stadium, with each position on the field laid out as if the players were in defensive positions (showing their range/arm at the position they are playing at the time). On the top left corner would be the lineup vs. RHP. On the top right corner would be the lineup vs. LHP. These lineups would include the player rankings of Contact/Power/Speed for the respective side. The SP's would be listed on the pitching mound 1-5 and include the endurance/velocity/control. The bullpen would be in the bottom right of the page. The bottom left would be your bench, ordered by sub preference for pinch hitters. Each position in the field would have 3 slots for backups and a "backup priority" number next to it.
This is an epic idea and it would enhance the game play on the baseball side by a factor of about infinity. So ... can we please have it for Christmas or maybe opening day next MLB season?
Dynamic Depth Charts with Stadium Overlay

OK, this is a huge one, and I've been thinking about it forever. I want to see a single page that includes all of my depth chart positions, along with my lineups vs. RHP and LHP, along with my starting rotation and bullpen, along with my backups for each position. I want the whole page to be laid out over a stadium overlay based on the stadium of your team, and I want drag/drop functionality incorporated.So, you would basically have a full page view of your stadium, with each position on the field laid out as if the players were in defensive positions (showing their range/arm at the position they are playing at the time).

I wish that I could draw a decent picture of what I am thinking, but I can't get a pic of the stadium to copy/paste to anything. :(

I could picture it completely. Your description was spot-on.

I miss the days when a great suggestion like this would get worked on.Alas we are all floating along in our simulated baseball derelict.

I wonder if there'd be room, I think you could, to get the minors up in there, maybe on a side panel of some sort, so you can promote/demote/waive, assign CPs. This would take care of the entire Manager list on one screen except for the in-game stuff. or would it be too cluttered.

my favorite thing about it is the reduction of screens. It turns 5-6 different screens/pages from the Manager dropdown list into 1. I lose a little more patience every day, I hate loading new pages.I wonder if there'd be room, I think you could, to get the minors up in there, maybe on a side panel of some sort, so you can promote/demote/waive, assign CPs.

The Save button would both close the popup and refresh the current screen to reflect the changes you just made (if any) to the major league team.

You would place a link that says "Minor Leagues" near the bottom of the screen, and when your mouse rolls over it, a popup dialog box would open with promote/waive/CP/Position Training options and a "Save" button.[size=1]Edited to add:[/size]

I'd love to see the minors added somewhere too. I don't see any reason for this not to at least get worked on. It would combine ALL of the depth chart management stuff into one easy-to-use interface that is intuitive and visually appealing.

Hey Chris or Tyson, any response on this one? Just to let us know you read it. :)

The site was built and designed - as all good web developers were taught - for the lowest common denominator of browser, so that everyone in the world could access it from just about any old computer.
I suppose the good news in that to take away would be that with an upgraded browsing experience, this idea would have a better chance of coming to life.

Chris replied in another thread that he does want to work on the baseball side of things in 2015, but that his focus will be on updating the web and mobile interface to reflect more contemporary operating systems.The site was built and designed - as all good web developers were taught - for the lowest common denominator of browser, so that everyone in the world could access it from just about any old computer.

I'm learning how many terrible developers there are out there since I primarily use my work computer which is forced to stay IE8. So many pages won't load on it. Even some major retailers.

I think it'd be cool if there was a little space for WS championship banners or just little pennants with the year on them, for any titles you've won as owner of that team. Perhaps on the outfield wall.

Admiral thinking ... Would the same method be used for the wavier wire?
