FanGraphs Library Update
Thanks to all your suggestions earlier this off-season, the FanGraphs Library has now been re-edited and rejuvinated in preparation for the 2012 season. Every stats page has been updated with new context tables — they are not year-specific anymore — and each page has been beefed up with more detailed and accurate information.
— Curious about what the formulas are for xFIP, wRAA, or SIERA? We have those, and many more.
— Wondering what the wOBA weights were for 1990, or maybe 1945? Or even 1900? Got it.
— Where can you find historical FIP constant values? We have those too.
— Need to find the league-average ISO back in 1956? Or league-average HR/FB rate in 2002? You can find links to historical, league-average leaderboards on every statistics page.
— Need a handy context chart for a specific stat that you can copy and paste into a blog article? The new context charts are easy to highlight and copy/paste from setting to setting.
There are more changes planned for the coming months — additions this time, not just edits — so stay tuned.

Those context tables are brilliant and useful. Very, very nice. So much for me getting any work done this afternoon. 😉 Thanks!!!
No problem, thanks! Hopefully this is a win-win…the context charts are applicable to all sorts of situations, and it keeps me from having to redo them every year.
