Would it be possible in the Player Search to Bold the names of those that are currently playing? It would make it easier to scan the list for the player we are interested in. I think Baseball Reference does something similar with AllStars, Hall of Famers, etc... Love the site! Great feature!

I don't like using any GB/FB/LD data prior to 2002 either, since it's sometimes a bit strange.

Adding some Digg functionality would definitely be better, but that's probably not going to happen right away. We’ll see how it goes.

By providing a 'rank up' or 'rank down' feature with some sort of rating system for each user as well, you could weight suggestions such that people could sort through them without having it end up as spam and self-promotion. Allow each person to suggest (or endorse) certain links, and then cross-reference those with their username, so you can search to see which links a certain user promotes, or which links get the most endorsements or whatnot, to have it act as a aggregate blogroll of sorts.
