I get annoyed when I want to post on RJ about what I should do with my team because I have to transcribe everything off CBS or Yahoo or whatever and I still can't include all of the context, like the standings in various categories. I'm considering writing a browser extension that I could click from my team page that would send the contents of that page and the standings page to a home server that would reformat the pages into a standard format, create player links to a site like Fangraphs, and give me a convenient link that I could post here.
Is this something any of you would use? Assume that it'd be free or ad-supported, maybe with an option to pay a couple dollars a year to turn off the ads. What other features would it need? Are there pages other than your team page and standings that would be important? Maybe the pages for offered trades? I think the available free agents page would be difficult since you'd probably want a filtered list, but I could also set it up where you have to click the button on every page you want to include, so you could do that. What sites/sports would it need to support - already planning for Yahoo, ESPN, CBS, OnRoto and baseball and football, am I missing any? What sources of player stats should it support? I was probably going to default to Fangraphs for baseball and I don't know yet for football, and maybe have options to switch to Yahoo or ESPN or b-ref.
