I am not a sabremetrician, but a big reason why I love being a member of this board is reading sophisticated analyses as to Player X or Y. I know there are sites which explain what it is that BABIP, xFIP, VORP, WAR, ERA+, etc. are, but would it be easy for one or some of you to make a list of average - excellent ranges with regard to all relevant statistics.
For example, if someone who has never seen a baseball game in his life asked me what an [average - stellar] batting average is, I'd say something like this:
Average: 250-260
Decent: 260-275
Good: 275-290
Very good: 290-305
Excellent: 305-320
Stellar: 320+
It would be great to be able to refer to a list like this for advanced stats. i.e. Rather than researching what xFIP is (which I have no idea at the moment), looking at an xFIP list like the one above would be really useful.
