White Sox Stats Site - Stats Definitions

I have included definitions for the stats below.  Feel free to shoot me an email if you need clarification.

Also, note that the image that appears to the right of the players photo on the stats page is a hitting spray chart.  It shows the location of all the balls hit into play by the player this season.
