PLAYERtrack bug fixed

Because I have not figured out a simple way to update the number of games played at a position (not yet, at least), there was a bug in the overall rankings that would not allow offensive players to be seen (it was set to only show players who played a minimujm of 1 game, so as all players reflect 0 games, it wouldn't show any offensive players).
Hat tip, Everett!
All fixed now.
May 1 Update is LIVE!

The first update of the season is LIVE! If you do not see results, make sure to change the number of at bats, or the number of innings pitched.
I will be working on a method of updating the positions, but for now, the results will only work with "ALL POSITIONS."
Listen to the next PLAYERtrack/BaseballGeeks podcast in the next week for my analysis of these first results!
