Add Positions Played to ap

[TerribleWoman]

Currently, I can see what positions each player has played for the season, but only if I email myself each individual player card. It would be nice if this information was available for viewing on the player card from within the ap. There are three buttons now - Batting, Pitching, and Fielding. Adding a "Positions" button would make my life so much easier, particularly if I could see the whole season or a specific game.

Thanks

We will add this to our enhancements list for future prioritization.

Thanks for the rapid response. Our whole team loves the stats and scorecast from this program - keep up the good work!

Is this information not accessible via the existing API? As the travel season nears its end, it would be nice to get a data export of how many innings each player occupied each position (as is shown in the emailed player card). In addition to the pains in emailing the player card for each player, the data can't be copied and pasted from the cards, so it really is a tedious task.

The data is not available through the API unless you parse the raw game data. We believe a user has done this (CSThunderCoach), but it is not for the feint of heart.

Emailing the player card is the best way to get this summary data. Many PDF viewers allow you to copy/paste data from a PDF. The one built into gmail does for example.

We have this on our list for future enhancements, so it should appear in a future version of the app as well.

Using the game detail API I have been able to parse out all defense statistics by position (err, A, PO, etc.) But it is a lot of data to swim through. I have been working on a series of web services to supply this information, but my guess is that FTM will complete their efforts before I complete mine.
