Minor league data

With Opening Day practically upon us, I've lifted the curtain on the minor league data that I've been accumulating on the UMDB: The official announcement Check it out.

Crazy. My instinct is that the minor league seasons should be right on top of the major league ones, although I guess I know why it isn't that way --- delivered from a different database and all. I think I think the world should look like the back of a baseball card.

It could. I thought about that and may eventually opt to do that once I have all minor league stats for all of the major league players. I mainly don't want to do it while it's still incomplete.

So I thought. That's wonderful and I congratulate you. I can't wait until it's all done and you start the Wives and Mistresses section.

When I do that I'll put you in charge of collecting the mug shots.

Dynamite. Is your source exclusively the Sporting News?

Benjamin Grimm Mar 30 2007 10:11 AM

Mostly. The stuff from 2002 through 2006 I got from Baseball Cube. The rest is from Sporting News Baseball Guides.
