Player Cards Update

 I spent some time updating the player cards, there are several new features to share:

    1941 Ted Williams

  1. Weighted On Base By Year (Batters) - I removed the old graphics for career wOBA and the ambiguous "Power/Speed Number" and replaced them with a historical view of the batters wOBA per year.  This chart includes the historical wOBA for the league as well.
  2. Diamond Vision (Batters) - only the most faithful blog reader will remember Diamond Vision. Roughly two years ago I created a new graphic that depcited a batters Power, Base Running ability, Ability to get on Base, and Fielding Prowess.  After promising weekly updates I never posted again.  I am happy to say it's back as a permanent feature of the player card.
  3. wOBA and RC/27 (Batters) are now listed in the historical stat register 
  4. Awards and Notes (Batters and Pitchers).  I went back through history and compiled the awards each batter or pitcher has won, and these are now displayed on each player card.
  5. RSAA (Pitchers) - added in the historical stat register
  6. Key Advanced Stats (Pitchers) - Replaced career H/9, K/9 and BB/9 with ERA+ and Average RSAA per season.
  7. WHIP by Year (Pitchers) - Replaced Career ERA and WHIP
