Pineiro's MW update 8/27

[Gantner]

The historical xERA values in his MW update don't match up at all with those listed in his PlayerLink. i.e. they're much lower than what the PlayerLink shows, thus making his improvement this season seem much more trivial than it actually is.

Hmm, interesting. Probably a formula mixup somewhere. I'll get it checked out. Thanks for noticing.

Did some digging, as my memory gets fuzzy on this stuff. The issue is that we haven't yet applied the latest changes to the xERA formula to the historical data on the site. Brian Rudd pulled the xERA values for the writeup from the Forecaster, which was using the updated formula for all years. So the writeup does contain the "apples to apples" xERA comparison.
