When I search for Rangers prospect "Miguel De Los Santos", no results come up. His page is still there, though: http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=deloss001mig

On a work PC, running IE.

Jmac,

Please elaborate. I really can't do anything with your bug report.

New site is very good. Quick load, clean look. My one complaint is that I'm prompted to install Flash on pretty much every page, and I'm not able to do that because this machine is a work box and user accounts can't install software.

And I left a tag open.

The hall of fame and All Star badges don't work right. At all.

Pcg,

I just updated the blog css and theme, so you shouldn't see these issues anymore.

Do you think you'll have playoffs added to the leaderboard page? Saw the playoff WPA in the Times article and that made me want to see more - what position players have the greatest playoff WPA?

Quick followup: there must've been a caching issue for me in Chrome. The background is no longer entirely grey, but there's still the stair-step effect as seen in Firefox and Safari. See http://upload.agathongroup.com/64e984b3254ee36293184f6d479f420e.png for the latest Chrome screenshot.

The CSS appears to be busted to one degree or another, depending on the browser. Loading this page (http://www.baseball-reference.com/blog/archives/8863) in each of the following browsers yields:

Chrome 7.0.517.41: http://upload.agathongroup.com/aac3127f439577829f82450c5e940f74.png (this one is particularly distracting, as the grey ends up the background for the entire content div)
Firefox 3.5.11: http://upload.agathongroup.com/07d02e217d7cb7de4807abc7fc96486c.png
Safari 5.0 (6533.16): http://upload.agathongroup.com/d9ed4ac44dc795eb12c39e9af51a5b58.png

I'm no designer/programmer, but the problem appears to be in sr.css where body#front defines background-color:#DDDDDD. If I use Firebug to ignore that clause, the site looks right on.

Hope that helps!
