Fangraphs is now the first site I go to for saber stats. My only request when you get around to adding new stuff again is that you add PA to your database. It would help in doing any additional calculations we want to make on our own. Lee This is a tremendous addition to your site. Fangraphs is now the first site I go to for saber stats.

" That is un-needed. Just take the Win Value and multiply by 4MM$ per win. That gives you the $ value for some base year, like 2006 or something. That is, 5 win in 2008 or 5 wins in 1978 is 5 wins. There's no need to convert to "constant" dollars. “Would there be a possibility of later adjusting past dollars to some sort of base year? ”

This essentially means that I can stop bothering with cooking up my home-brew versions of these stats! Which leaves me a lot more time to do other things--very exciting! -justin Absolutely wonderful.

That is, I see you noted $4.8M per win in 2008, but I'm not sure I understand how you arrived at that value.

That way it would be easier to compare players from past ages as far as contracts go. Would there be a possibility of later adjusting past dollars to some sort of base year?
