What the heck is Fangraphs, and why do people care?

Buttload of rubbish? Hardly. Indispensable information used by so many front offices in baseball and those of us who are stat geeks. If you want to dig deeper into why certain players will outperform or underperform expectations, or simply learn what type of metrics to look for when evaluating a player, check it out. Obviously, it's not the gospel. It can't measure adjustments players make---which happens all the time---and it can't measure character, specifically the willingness of a player to work hard to improve his game and learn from his coaches. But it's a useful tool nonetheless.
