Mock Draft Central’s 5×5 Mixed League Average Draft Position values are now available in all the projection pages under the heading ADP.
These are updated daily as new drafts happen. If you see a 999.0 as the ADP value, it means that player has not been drafted at all.
The 2012 ZiPS Projections courtesy of Baseball Think Factory and Dan Szymborski are now available in the sortable projections pages and on the player pages!
The new Custom Teams feature will replace the My Team and My Projections feature and now have the ability to create as many different team lists as you’d like, all while utilizing the existing leaderboards and projection pages.
If you’ve been using the old My Teams feature, your team will already appear in your custom team list as “My Team”.
To get to your team once it’s created, just click on the Leaders or Projections link.
The FanGraphs+ player profiles section now includes team and position.
Also we’ve found a few missing profiles including Billy Butler, Johan Santana, Kendrys Morales, and Franklin Gutierrez.
I’d also like to gauge whether or not we should explore putting the FanGraphs+ content into an eBook / PDF format. Poll after the jump:

RotoChamp projections are now available in the sortable projections pages and player pages for the second year in a row. Big thanks to RotoChamp.com for letting us post these for the second straight year.
One quick note about projections this year is that you can filter by active team, giving you available projections for anyone who is on the current 40 man roster.
The results of the 2011 Fans Scouting Report are now available on the player pages and the leaderboards.
As always big thanks to Tangotiger for running them each year.
All the leaderboards now preserve sorting in the link, meaning you can sort by whatever you want and share with someone exactly what you were looking at. This is made even easier by the addition of the usual smorgasbord of “share” buttons to the leaderboard pages.
For instance, here are the qualified BsR (baserunning) leaders last season.
Also, sorting now sorts in descending order first. Fans of looking at the league-worst first will just need to click again. Someday we will just have the stats sort from best-to-worst, first, regardless of whether it should be ascending or descending. But in the meantime, having stats sort descending first should save an extra click most of the time.
On the exporting front, playerids are now listed by default at the end of the dataset when exported. Gone are the days of parsing out playerids and player names. Thanks to all those who found and shared workarounds while exporting wasn’t so pretty.

– Custom stat lists, just like the major league leaderboards.
– The ability to group stats over multiple leagues.
– Custom player lists, allowing players to be easily compared.
– Custom reports let you save your custom stats / players for easy retrieval.
