This has been on my to-do list for a long time. I've updated our Glossary, including a short discussion of replacement level and definitions of some advanced sabermetric stats, such as Clutch. I hope you'll find this useful. Let me know if you have suggestions for other items you'd like to see included in the Glossary.
Dave was called a "national treasure" by Rob Neyer. Seriously. Comments about this article can be sent to him through the miracle of e-mail.

I’d say xWHIP, but there’d be a conflict of interest! In all seriousness, however, the glossary updates are great. Maybe an explanation of PitchF/X and heatmaps (or link thereto) would be awesome.
