DNP/Inactive Players on Boxscores

6th May 2014

Just a note that we've added some new info to the bottom of our boxscores, for the current season onward. Last week we added DNP and Inactive records to our player gamelogs.

We've added the same information to all of our 2013-14 boxscores. Players that didn't enter the game or dress get a DNP record, and player suspensions are noted when known.

Below the boxscore we note the players on the respective teams' inactive lists.

Split Finder Allows you to Excludes Incomplete Results when PBP is Missing

5th May 2014

This is a subtle one, but as you may know play-by-play and ergo certain split data like platoon info and count data is not complete back to 1914. We have 100% of play-by-play back to 1973 and the 98%+ back to 1954. Details Here.

So we are now allowing you to exclude the split seasons from the Play Index Split Finder where incomplete totals may occur, so a pre 1973 platoon split, or a pre 1988 by count split.

See the location of this checkbox below.

DNP/Inactive Records For Player Gamelogs

1st May 2014

Just a note that we've added DNP and Inactive records to our player gamelogs, beginning with the 2013-14 season.

If the player was active but didn't appear in the game, or didn't dress for the game, that's indicated with a 'Did Not Play' record. In cases when the player was active and suspended, the record will be 'Player Suspended'.

In all cases when the player is on the inactive list the record will be 'Inactive'.

Please let us know if you have any questions or catch any mistakes in the gamelogs.

Opening Day Service Time (s.2010) & Contract Status on Player Pages – Baseball-Reference.com

24th April 2014

A user made the suggestion that since we had service time data why don't we add it to the player pages, so we did. It's now in the salary tables at the bottom of the player pages. This data is their service time at the start of the season and is mostly complete since 2010 opening day.

GM's may wish to double-check the numbers before entering contract negotiations. Also, if you haven't seen this area of the player page before note that you can do era adjustments to salaries and we list player contract status here.
