    Good work, but maybe you could have some flexibility with the players whose stats you list at the top of these daily features? 

    I would much rather see Alan Hanson or Gregory Polanco stats at the top then Kyle McPhersons current DL status or a notation about how Stenson Ally didn’t pitch today? Just a thought
