You Aren't a FanGraphs Member
It looks like you aren't yet a FanGraphs Member (or aren't logged in). We aren't mad, just disappointed.
We get it. You want to read this article. But before we let you get back to it, we'd like to point out a few of the good reasons why you should become a Member.
1. Ad Free viewing! We won't bug you with this ad, or any other.
2. Unlimited articles! Non-Members only get to read 10 free articles a month. Members never get cut off.
3. Dark mode and Classic mode!
4. Custom player page dashboards! Choose the player cards you want, in the order you want them.
5. One-click data exports! Export our projections and leaderboards for your personal projects.
6. Remove the photos on the home page! (Honestly, this doesn't sound so great to us, but some people wanted it, and we like to give our Members what they want.)
7. Even more Steamer projections! We have handedness, percentile, and context neutral projections available for Members only.
8. Get FanGraphs Walk-Off, a customized year end review! Find out exactly how you used FanGraphs this year, and how that compares to other Members. Don't be a victim of FOMO.
9. A weekly mailbag column, exclusively for Members.
10. Help support FanGraphs and our entire staff! Our Members provide us with critical resources to improve the site and deliver new features!
We hope you'll consider a Membership today, for yourself or as a gift! And we realize this has been an awfully long sales pitch, so we've also removed all the other ads in this article. We didn't want to overdo it.
David Appelman is the creator of FanGraphs.
Wow, Carlos Correa is even more well-rounded than we thought.
I doubt Appelman will read the comments on this post, but just in case: UZR didn’t update Sunday night. Everyone is stuck at last week’s defensive ratings. Save us from the perils of mildly outdated statistics (that need much more data than one week’s worth to be meaningful in any event)!
These will be updated tonight and then again on Sunday as usual.
Thanks, Dave! Might I just say, you seem to be a ridiculously conscientious site owner/operator.
I would definitely apply if I wasn’t already in a dream development job and if baseball teams didn’t pay 30% of market rate.
I was going to ask how much a job like this might pay. I’m not at all qualified, just curious. $80,000?
Try closer to $40K. Not quite 30% of market rate, but close.
Working for the Cards is a dream job. I’d give anything to work for them. But I have no skillz. I wish whoever gets this job the best of luck.
I’m in my senior year of CS. I would kill to do web development for my favorite team.
Not a Cards fan, but I would love this job. Any official word on what it pays?
