As we're maintaining this here now, we probably need a new name (for PyPI among others, and differentiation etc.)
Taking suggestions

So, a few things I want to ask the community here:

1. Do we want to go back on to PyPI? If so, what should the new name be?
2. Do we have particular goals to work on? I've recently been doing a lot of stuff with retrosheet, mainly with the prebuilt parquet databases from boxball, that could be something, absolutely open to ideas. Do we want to add modelling / projections beyond scraping? We could do something like integrate Marcel the Monkey or something similar (perhaps something more advanced?). Hidden Markov?
3. Any new datasets that have come out that we don't have yet?

What is the easiest way to identify player position? (including reliever or starter for pitchers)

So F-Strings snuck into one of the commits, and I thought it might be a good idea to discuss it in the open, I'd like to make sure that we're on the same page. And that if we abandon it we do it soon, while it's still easy to roll back.

As I see it: the pros of F-strings is that they are substantially more legible, and much more concise. Especially in the shorter strings.
The only downside is the backwards compatibility. However, I think that at this point in time we probably don't need to support Python 3.5 or lower? So I'm inclined to say that f-strings are now okay. Curious to hear if the community agrees.
