StatCorner 1.0

Hey all, just a quick note to let you know that we're out of Beta (in just 58 days, take that Google!).

Some brief highlights:

  • New presentation, with a little less harsh green and including an actual logo
  • Minor league data from 2007 and 2008. Please note that we do not (yet) have park factor information for minor leagues and we do not (and never will have) pitch by pitch data for A, A+, or AA leagues.
  • tRA*
  • A somewhat enhanced glossary look up and team selection widget for hopefully easier navigation around the site.
  • Player search now includes the latest team for the player to help distinguish between all those Hernandez's and Young's.

There's still tons more to come and, as always, feedback's always welcome. Thanks.

This makes me happy.

I like homeless people. They are funny. I like cake. It is not funny but really delicious.

Just made this comment in the Rays thread, but it deserves repeating:

You guys rock. For how young it is, the site is stellar.

I looked into making a FF plugin

when you first brought it up, it seemed like too much work. I’ll give it another search though.

The one thing that FF has over a QS

Is the fact that we could highlight than right click names that would normally be hard to spell

testing

FF plugin link

Let me know if this works.

Ok, it seems to work

and has been added at the bottom of the stats page

I wouldn't mind seeing the teams organized more like baseball ref's

ie, regulars separated from backups, starters separated from relievers.

But, as said in the GT, the redesign looks very nice. Well done.

Awesome

As long as you’re taking feedback – from a purely aesthetic perspective I think the logo would look much better with the alpha and taus in whatever font you use for the rest of it. The sigma fits in with the angularity and austerity of the font (what is that – it looks like the New Yorker) whereas the other letters are too rounded and don’t fit size-wise, making it seem strained. Just my $0.02.

Also, it seems intuitive to me that the underlines “AL” and “NL” over the team names on the front page should link directly to the pitching leaderboards for those leagues.

If the suggestions seem trivial its because the site is otherwise perfect ;)

Excellent work y'all

All that hard work paid off. It looks fantastic.

I am definately behind the curve when it comes to all these new-fangled stats.

But this site makes me want to learn. Thanks for being good at what you enjoy.

It sucks.

And by sucks i mean totally rules all.

I'm sure you know this, but 2005 had more regression because there were way fewer plate appearances

tRA* is not a yearly performance indicator, it’s our best guess as to a player’s talent level given a year’s worth of data at any one level.

tRA* for one start will (almost) always be league average, etc.

I can't find the minor league stats

Toronto's Pitching

Okay, so we knew it was good. But 5th best SP with a TRA+ of 102? Seriously wow.

Oh, and “NB: You can sort on multiple columns by holding down the shift key while clicking on column headers” = yay!
