A new Baseball-Reference

by Teej on Dec 15, 2008 8:13 PM PST

In the comments of a thread at Baseball Think Factory, Sean Forman has provided a link to a redesigned Baseball-Reference.com.

Since you were all so nice to offer me birthday wishes, I'll post the link to where we are testing out the redesign. THIS IS NOWHERE NEAR COMPLETED AND IS NOT UPDATED IN A MEANINGFUL WAY AND MANY MANY THINGS ARE BROKEN OR NOT COMPLETED, but anyways. ETA is spring training 2009.

It seems more user-friendly than the current B-R, and while it doesn't look like there's a beta version of the home page, It looks like things are going to be a little easier to find.

There's also some new information, including BABIP, K%, BB%, LD%, leverage numbers and a wealth of other cool stuff.

As an example, here's Pedro Martinez's page.

And yes, every player has Vlad Guerrero as his mugshot in this working version.

This looks promising.

Hopefully they keep the Vlad mugshot thing because I could never get tired of looking at that face.

I've done less to promote Statcorner than Robert, but much more than you so,

Wow

If they add wOBA it’ll cut my visits to Etatcorner in half.

I'm sure JI doesn't realize that you and Etat Corner are good for many other statistics that you can't normally find.

Such as

So far so good.

Looking forward to it.

Love the functionality but it will be useless unless it as quick the current version.

I think it looks too much like a spreadsheet

There are design improvements to be made

Looks as though StatCorner is making an impact!
