That was a chore. Yes, I did say in my prior post I’d return with a more official announcement about the 2013 Cheatsheet Compiler & Draft Buddy for fantasy baseball. I’m overdue for that, but the week I posted that comment I spent planning my projects for the year.

As a result of that planning, I scheduled time to update my baseball stats database. Since then, I’ve been head down, eyes on computer, plugging away at the stats. It was a lot of of programming and Excel spreadsheets to try to automate importing rosters from a stats provider, to keep them updated, and making sure the stats are complete and accurate. That took another week, plus most of today. Glad to have that done and announce the updated player stats, games played by position data, team rosters (example: Washington Nationals) and player pages (example: Bryce Harper). If you notice an error with the stats, please let me know so I can correct it.

Now that is done, next stop is the Compiler & Draft Buddy. I need to look at my schedule and see what is possible for this year. To be perfectly honest, it may be “simply” updating the same file as last year for the current year. Hey, if you liked last year’s version (and many did), then you should be happy to hear that. Timing? Not sure. These projects do take a significant amount of time. You can still download last year’s baseball CC/DB by registering (rookie members) or logging in (returning vets).
