    Request for Forecaster & Graphical Player

    As always, great books editions this year. Now I'm not sure if it's me not paying attention or not but it seems that there are more players who I don't recognize easily. That's a good thing, I wouldn't want the books to review fewer players. My request is to put an Organization Name in each player's profile. I'm a NL guy and so I end up looking up lots of players (rookies particularly) to see if they're AL guys (to be ignored) or maybe I just missed them.

    Of course, the books are sent out early and lots of players change teams after publication but I still think it'd provide a good baseline and a big help.

    What are the thoughts on this?

    Even more helpful for me is to include the organization name in any articles about minor leaguers. I frequently don't know whether those guys are AL or NL prospects.

      In terms of the Forecaster boxes, team affiliations are (almost) always there, on the 2007 statline. In cases where MLEs are used and "a/a" is on the statline, in the player box we'll say something like ".200-1-4 in 14 AB at COL".

      In recent years, we've started to give player boxes to guys who have not yet appeared in the majors... in this case, I can see where this would be a concern. I'll make a note of that.

      Deric or JB would be better able to comment on their areas of expertise.
