Make "watch this player" useful

So you browse the free agent listings and see a player you want to keep your eye one. You look at his card, and click "watch this player". Strat add this player to a plain text list down your Team Preferences page - no link back to the player list at all, no context, nothing. Why? This is really lazy programming, and absolutely useless.

Every other baseball site in the universe allows you to flag the player ON THE FREE-AGENT LISTING PAGE with a simple symbol (like a box, a star, or a circle) that is clickable, and filled when on, not filled when off. There is easily room for such a symbol on the free-agent listing, and that's exactly where it should be. You could then tell at a glance who you are watching.

The free-agent search box could be modified to filter on watched players (ie -- Available: Available | All | Watched )

This is much-needed and long overdue enhancement to this site.

Maybe you could add "City and State/Province" to the ballpark profiles while you are at it.

Your suggestion would make "watch this player" useful for free agents; I like it. The way it is now, it's really not useful to get an email saying a player you were interested in just got picked up by another team.

However, it can be mildly useful to follow a player already on another team. If that team should drop a player you'd like, the email will alert you to take a look.

If they would adopt your suggestion, "watch this player" could be useful in both cases.

I like it - a “best of both worlds” approach!
