2012 Washington Nationals Payroll, Roster, Uniform Numbers - Baseball-Reference.com.
After a generous donation of the 2012 service time totals, we've gotten the 2012-13 off-season payroll tracking off and running.
These presentations show the following for each team.
- Players with MLB experience currently on the team's 40-man roster.
- The player's service time through end of 2012, agent, and how they were acquired.
- Each player's contract status, signed or not and the general terms.
- The year-by-year salaries, options and buyouts for guaranteed contracts.
- The pathway to free agency for pre-FA players
- Estimated 2013 arbitration awards from MLBTradeRumors.com's Arbitration Toolkit
- Any one-time payments like option buyouts or transfers due to trades.
- Then for each team-season we estimate current and future payroll obligations.
- Show the number of players already under contract.
- Sum this up for every team in a table on our front page updated every day.
- Player-specific material also appears at the top of each team page.
- This material should be updated daily.
- We also link from the front page to our 2012-13 Free Agency Tracker and our 2012-13 Transaction list.
Again a big thanks to MLBTradeRumors for the information on arb eligibility and if you want serious contract detail check out Cot's Contracts at Baseball Prospectus.com

With the 2012-13 regular season in full swing, you might want to check out the Basketball-Reference Play Index. In case you don't already know about the PI, it's a set of research tools that allow you to create customizable queries on our database, save the results, and share them with others. With the PI, you can:
- Use the Player Season Finder to search through all NBA, ABA, & BAA players' regular season and playoff statistics for performances that match your criteria.
- Use the Player Game Finder to search through NBA players' regular season and playoff game logs (since 1985-86) for games matching your criteria.
- Use the Head-to-Head Finder to search for games in which two selected players played against each other.
- Search for player and team consecutive-game streaks that match your criteria using the Streak Finders.
- Search for team performances that meet your criteria with the Team Season Finder and Team Game Finder.
- Use the Draft Finder to search through every NBA/BAA draft for picks that match your criteria.
- Use the Player Comparison Finder to compare the stats of up to four players through (or in) a given season.
Also, take a look at the Play Index Plus for even more data-searching goodness. The PI+ lets you sift through the play-by-play data of every game since 2001, making it possible to look for specific events, lineup data, and shooting stats (including clutch shots and shot breakdowns by distance).
Best of all, these features are 100% free to use! So go ahead, give them a try, and you'll wonder how you ever got along without them.

We now have current NFL playoff seedings (after some extensive tinkering and constant referencing of the NFL's playoff tiebreaking procedures) which we will keep up-to-date from week to week, including the reason one team may be chosen above another with the same record. Look for it to be updated after each game day and keep an eye on your team's chances!

In light of yesterday's post about a cool trick for comparing player stats side-by-side at Baseball-Reference, here's the same feature (more streamlined, in fact) at Basketball-Reference -- the Play Index Player Comparison Finder:

Here's a neat Baseball-Reference trick... To compare any two players, just enter a URL in the following form:
http://www.baseball-reference.com/compare.cgi?top=/players/t/troutmi01.shtml&bottom=/players/c/cabremi01.shtml
Modify that form to include any two players you want, keeping in mind that the "top=" part refers to the player in the upper frame (enter a player's ID from the root directory; i.e. Cabrera's in the "/players/c/" directory) and "&bottom=" refers to the bottom frame. This should work for any combination of two players, as long as you enter the IDs and directories correctly.
