still a great resource.
The Guru's Baseball Data Archive
You want
numbers? Here's free access to the
Guru's Private
Stock in downloadable spreadsheet form. You'll find that many of
the spreadsheets include LahmanID's, which allow you to match these files
directly to Sean Lahman's most outstanding
free database. Amazingly, his database provides the complete major
league batting, pitching and fielding records from 1871 to present.
However, to save space, he leaves it to you to calculate all of the
batting averages and earned run averages. Luckily, the Guru helped
out and went so far as to add many complex calculations for formulas created
by various Sabermetric experts such as Bill James, John Thorn and Pete Palmer.
So, in combination with the Guru's enhancements, you'll be swimming
in baseball data!

Gadget - The ultimate argument settler! Compare a player's stats
to another player or to his team or to his league to find out if the
amount that he is better (or worse) is statistically significant.
How it works: Enter the "Base" (such as AB or IP) and the "Result"
(such as hits or earned runs) for "Player 1" and "Player 2." Player
2 can represent another player, a whole team or league totals depending on
what you want to compare. The gadget will instantly tell you if the difference
is statistically significant.
