A Picture is Worth a Thousand Blogs

Today you should notice that the player pages on Yardbarker have photos of the players. This is a small, almost ceremonial step in the direction of making Yardbarker just as useful for researching sports topics as it is for writing about them. We don't want you to have to go off to another site to dig for the facts that help you write your posts and put other users' articles in context. The next version of the site will include more robust, near-realtime stats as well, and each version after that will give you more and more tools for slicing and dicing player stats, viewing game results, team schedules, league standings, and more. Through your feedback, you have helped us prioritize this focus on stats. Other new changes include a new-and-improved default sort by "Most Popular" on most of the pages, and a shorter, more self-explanatory list of topics. We think the site is getting close to being ready for more users. We're planning to invite a couple hundred hardcore fantasy baseball gamers in the next few days. Thanks for all your feedback, and as always, keep it coming! Jack, Jeff, Mark, and Pete The Yardbarker Team

  When you click on a player's name you're taken to the player pages. You don't see any pictures? It's possible that you'll need to clear your browser cache.
