When users select from Discord autocomplete dropdown, it sometimes sends the display text (e.g., 'Mason Miller (RP) - 2.50 sWAR') instead of the value ('Mason Miller'). Added _parse_player_name() function with regex to strip position and sWAR info from input. Pattern: r'^(.+?)\s*\([A-Z0-9]+\)\s*-\s*[\d.]+\s*sWAR$'
