@Rob: Yes, you can set the scripts to only run on certain pages. The scripts by default run on any page that matches “*.baseball.cbssports.com/*”. You just need to edit that address for each script so that it uniquely matches only one league:

In Firefox, go to Tools -> Greasemonkey -> Manage User Scripts. On the “Included Pages” section for each script, you just need to edit the address to be something like this:

*league1.baseball.cbssports.com/*

Where “league1″ is whatever shows up in the address bar on your first league homepage. Then do the same thing for the other league (e.g. “league2″).

Is there a way to use this for multiple CBS leagues? I have two leagues on that site and the prices show up on both leagues. But the leagues are very different so the prices are not accurate for one league.
Awesome stuff by the way… I’m glad I found you… I’ll send you a valentine if it’s appropriate ;-0

Mays – Some of them match up, and some don’t (this is in a 4×4 AL-only CBS league). Just as an example, Anthony Swarzak came up at a $20 player on CBS. There are a bunch of other examples where CBS doesn’t match up with the values from here. I’m just I just botched something but it’s definitely not working right for me.

@Tavo: I just tried out the script on Google Chrome, and I don’t think Chrome supports it (yet).

The script is designed to connect to http://www.lastplayerpicked.com to get up-to-date dollar values. Google hasn’t implemented the Greasemonkey feature that lets scripts connect to a remote site.

@Aaron: Wonky? I’m not sure what you mean; the results should be the same as what you see here. If you can give me some details I’d be happy to look into it.

Cool idea, but getting some wonky results on CBS for some players (seems that pitchers are off by the most). I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong with this, but it must be something.

Mays – I actually just assumed it didn’t, sorry, laziness on my part. I am going to try when I get home tonight and will let you guys know.

@Jamie: The biggest difficulty with adding a new site like OnRoto is mapping the player IDs. Yahoo, CBS, and ESPN all use different IDs, and so I have to update each of them whenever a new player is added.

It looks like OnRoto uses yet another system of IDs. If there’s demand for it, I could probably do it though.

@Tavo: I haven’t tried it yet, but I think Greasemonkey scripts will work with Google Chrome:

I’ve got Chrome installed, so I’ll try it out later to make sure the Price Guide script works.

Any chance you can get this to work with OnRoto? Thanks.

Great tool, thanks for sharing. Is there a way to make it work with Google Chrome? I started using that as my default browser a couple months back.

Sorry if this dupe posts, stalled when I hit submit a minute ago.
