Emerald Sports Guides - The Baseball Guide for 2008 and 2007 If you are like me, every year you would look forward to the Sporting News Baseball Guide appearing in your local bookstore. This book contained a complete record of the previous season, with box scores of important games, major and minor league stats and [...]

Baseball Draft: 2nd Round of the 1989 June Draft - Baseball-Reference.com I have cleaned up a number of issues with the draft data and now have some additional features. Compensation and supplemental picks are all now notated. We also went back and handled the ninety or so voided picks or picks where a team didn’t make [...]

There aren’t going to be a lot of shiny new features over the next two months because I’m undertaking a major re-writing of the B-R architecture. Basically, I’m getting it onto the same platform as the other sports reference sites. This will speed up development (eventually) and also add a bunch of [...]

Baseball Draft: 2007 Picks in the June Draft, with a listed position of LHP - Baseball-Reference.com It only took 11 months, but I finally got the 2007 draft data added to the site. I’ve also added pitcher handedness to the tables for 99.1% of the pitchers selected in the draft. So you can [...]

SportingNews.com - Fantasy Games and In-Depth Fantasy Analysis Six games to play and the Detroit Tigers (managed by yours truly) are a half game up on the Yankees. The Blue Jays would need a miracle to make it, but they are probably still alive mathematically. Tigers have three with the Brewers and three with the Orioles. The [...]

Sports-Reference.com Front Page Basketball-Reference.com Front Page Pro-Football-Reference.com Front Page Hockey-Reference.com Front Page You may have noticed that most of the SR sites (sadly baseball does not yet, but will!) have a shiny new logo in the upper left-hand corner. We had been talking about getting nice logos for years, but the formation of the LLC this past December finally [...]

Sports Reference Store If you were at the 2007 SABR convention in St. Louis, you were able to buy Baseball-Reference.com t-shirts and hats at a booth we had there. Now you can order the same t-shirts and hats via our Yahoo! Store. There is also a data download available there. We may start rolling [...]

2008 Toronto Blue Jays Franchise Batting Stats and Depth - Baseball-Reference.com The players on the depth chart are now linked to either their majors or minors pages. They are routed to the area that the most recently played with by year. So Vic Darensbourg would send you to his minor league page, Clay Buchholz [...]

2008 AAA International League Batting Leaders for Runs Created/Game - Baseball-Reference.com I’ve tweaked the minor league leaderboard to have common sense cutoffs for PA’s and IP’s for the leaderboards for rate stats. Before this readout would have been blank. Also, SB-CS values for Catchers is now on the team and player pages for 2008 and I’ve [...]

Holds are such a goofy stat. I had introduced an issue that caused cases where a pitcher had a decision to register as no hold. Well, turns out you can get a hold and a loss. Figure that one out. Anyways, I’ve corrected the hold calculation, so it now gives hold in those [...]
