Is there anything I could do to be able to get the free update to update the league standings and maybe even the league full standings page? I think it would be very useful to be able to click on the full standings and watch my progress soar above the rest of the league. Alright maybe not soar but it would be nice to be able to track my progress instead of having to go into each teams page and go back to see if I changed positions in any category. Thanks for your hard work. I love the freebie stats.

Hey Dave have you found out a way to make this scoring so that it incorporates the certain stats that your own league uses rather than the standard?

I could be mistaken. My computer runs fine with the script, but my friend informed me that he believed some of those things came from installing it. Anyway, thanks for the reply Dave, I guess I was incorrect.

DAtaris17, this script doesn't install spyware or tracking cookies. Greasemonkey scripts aren't compiled so anyone can view the source code. For anyone worried about this script, post in the forums or ask a programmer friend to review its safety. No one has to trust my word....but you should cuz I'm an honest guy plus I link to my personal blog and this script has been installed over 8000 times so that ought to count for something.

Very useful, but when installed I ended up with spyware and tracking cookies on my computer as a result. I know they came from this because when I got rid of the program and the cookies, they did not return. Is there any reason as to why this is loaded with spyware? The tracking cookies did not affect my computer's performance, but it's not a good idea to have those lurking on your computer.

dave,

yes, greasemonkey is enabled and right now there's about 7 games going on so i don't understand why the 'show freebie stats' wont show up

bmooney,

is greasemonkey on? click on the monkey icon on the lower right hand side taskbar in firefox to enable it.

the 'show freebie stats' link only appears if a game has been completed or is in progress.

hey guys, my goal is to update the script so that it will be smart enough to discover what stats your league uses and then only show those stats. as soon as I have it ready I'll post it here.

Dave,

Awesome work! I know nothing about writing scripts, but any chance you could add batter K, BB, & 2B? Better yet, how about adding an option for the user to pick which stats to track? Thanks again.

Cool.
It would be neat to replace the "Get StatTracker" link too (http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=50368/*http://baseba... on my page), and better yet, show the stats inline!

HI Dave. Thanks for this amazing script it's so helpful! I appreciate the amount of work you put into this, but I was wondering if maybe you could add BB's to the hitters stats? That would be outstanding =]

Thanks again for a wonderful tool!

Hey Dave -

Love the idea, but for some reason it is not working. I still see "Launch Stattracker". Any suggestions? Thanks.

soxnfire - might be tough. but don't let that stop you from trying.

Dave,

Only having a small amount of programming knowledge, if I did my homework, do you think I could customize this for my league? We are in a rotisserie league, and want to have a head to head playoff at the end of the year. So basically, I would need a total box score for the week, adding daily live stats to the teams playing each other.

If it is something that is pretty complex, and you or Rodric could do it, I would recommend trying to pitch it to a fantasy website for some $$$, as I have found there are large numbers of people pining for a roto regular season with H2H playoffs.

soxnfire - I'll update for 2008 season if required but hopefully the script will work as is. it really depends on changes that yahoo might make on the boxscore pages.

Dave and Rodric,

Looks like great work on the script, but will we be able to use it this year('08 season)? I am excited to give it a try!

hey cox

you can find out which stats a league uses by parsing the league standings page and then uses the results to build the statNames arrays.

the tricky part is that you have to fetch the standings page, get notified when it's ready, parse it, then trigger the rest of the league processing.

it's on the todo list. if you manage to do it, it would be great. i've not had much time to work on this lately but it is something i'd like to do.

(and the last feature i'd like to do: update the standings in quasi-real time :)

True, and I understand that you can only show the basic stats and there is no way of telling which stats the league uses. However you can remove the ad and put the stats inline. I started trying to do it myself but only have rudimentary knowledge of what I am doing. I managed to get the add removed but not much else.

You could comment on this script if you were logged in.
