siteUrl: String that represents the URL that the site uses for the seasonal data, if any.
urlType: String that identifies the type of data in seasonURL (HTML, XML, CSV or file)
urlTable: A character string identifying which table to grab from seasonURL
playerLink: A string representing part of the URL to a player profile
playerId: What to call the id number for player if present

When specifying the URLs paramters can be used as place holders.
