Quick question related to this though. According to another post, there is a <status> property for players that will show up if the players is Probable, Questionable, etc... but I cannot seem to find any examples, so I just want to make sure that this is correct. Also, it appears that there is a <has_player_notes> property, but it is simple a boolean. Is there any way to actually get the notes from the API? Or at least get a URL so I can redirect a user to somewhere to read the notes?
Thanks!

If you check out Jamie Moyer (in baseball) right now, he has a status of DL. Hopefully that'll give you the rough general idea of what shows up there (it'll always be an abbreviation, we generally show it right next to the player position on the main site, etc).

Regarding the <has_player_notes> flag, I don't believe we have rights to syndicate out all of the notes themselves as part of the service, but adding in various player links is a good idea. I'll work on getting that into one of our future releases.
