A new Baseball-Reference
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.

He's looking pretty cute.

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

I think it looks too much like a spreadsheet
There are design improvements to be made

Looks as though StatCorner is making an impact!

Looking at this, I want a line-up of 9 Barry Bonds from 2002.
22 runs created per game is no joke.
