Request: Export WAR and other advanced stats

ctorg · 02-07-2013, 11:57 AM

I usually use an Access database outside the game to keep track of stats over time, since I can make detailed queries, but some stats just don't export, and they are very cumbersome to calculate outside of the game. WAR, in particular, would be a very useful stat to be able to have, as would stats like ERA+, FIP, wOBA, and so forth.

It would save a lot of time and effort if I didn't have to calculate these things externally when they're already calculated. VORP is exported, so I'd imagine the other things could be as well. These stats aren't like batting average or ERA, which can be calculated easily from a player's stats. They take league averages and replacement levels into account. I can't even figure out how WAR is calculated within OOTP.

Please, please just make them exportable!

Yes, please. This would save a lot of time.

Oh, and I meant to mention the advanced fielding stats, too, as I don't think we even have the raw data to independently calculate them using the exported data.

I don't know whether you've noticed this since posting this thread, but you can get WAR in the CSV data dump. I've attached sample CSVs from my own league.

EDIT: Also I calculate my own FIP and wOBA from freely available formulas found online. ERA+ or OPS+, I don't know.

Yeah, I was really happy to see that. Calculating anything that requires ballpark factors can be a headache, so just getting it is very helpful.
