July 1, 2012 BP AnnouncementsTwo New Stats AddedTo honor Canada on its special day, Baseball Prospectus has added two statistics to the custom sortable leaderboards. True Average Minus Batting Average (TAV_MINUS_AVG) intends to provide a quick look at whether a player’s batting average is “full” or “empty.” Here are the five “fullest” batting averages, determined by this metric:
Player: TAv_Minus_Avg And the “emptiest”:
Player: TAv_Minus_Avg As a companion stat, we’ve also added Fielding Independent Pitching minus Earned Run Average (FIP_MINUS_ERA). As the name implies, this is a pitcher’s FIP minus his ERA. It’s supposed to provide a quick reference for how much a pitcher is over or under-pitching to his peripheral stats. Here are the largest positive gaps:
Pitcher: FIP_Minus_ERA And the largest negative gaps:
Pitcher: FIP_Minus_ERA

I've been unable to customize the splits reports for a couple of days.
Why are there batter value reports, but not pitcher value reports? Also, I'd like those available for batter and pitcher splits.
Rob, you'll find pitcher value stats--WARP, PVORP, etc.--in the "Pitcher Team - Standard" report.
Can you explain the bit about being unable to customize the sortables? What browser are you using?
I'm using Google Chrome 20.
Example:
Select Statistics from Batter Splits by Pit-Hand
Under "Your Selections" there are a number of fields I want to eliminate, so I select them and click on the left button and nothing happens.
Likewise, I want to add BATTER to the mix, select, click on right arrow, nothing happens.
Seems to be an issue with Chrome, as it functions with IE.
