Colby Cosh put a recent day off to good use and produced a new kind of baseball graph. It shows all the pitchers from last year who qualified for the ERA title and charts their strikeouts, walks and home runs (the 'Three True Outcomes' and the founding components of DIPS). Colby's graph plots k/ip on the y-axis, bb/ip on the x-axis and then uses dot-size to represent home runs allowed.

Some folks on the Red Sox Nation forum have taken the idea a step forward and have plotted career graphs for the Red Sox starters.

This is a very interesting project and offers the data in a form that is more intuitive than tables of data.
