My thought would be, since the screens, as they are now, are already built why not keep them as is and then build optional "new metric" screens? Which ever screen type you select would lock in as the default. Then allow one to customize the new metric screens as you want. Kind of like you have the option of the game making traditional lineups or saber metric ones, you could then menu select which display you would like in your game.
Might just be me but I would not want to see the old type stat displays to be removed. I hope to retire in the next 2-3 years and at that time would like to start a historical league to play along side my on going modern setup (don't have time to run two games when I have to work). I plan to start in 1969, the first season I really got into watching baseball and, again might just be me, but seeing all of the modern stats in my historical world would just seem wrong. If I'm playing in '69 I want to see only '69 stats, new metrics would take away from the historical feel. I don't know but imagine other historical players might feel the same way?
I've watched baseball for 50+ years and am not stuck on the old way at all, I've evolved with the new stats as they have appeared. Fully support your idea of adding more new stats and better\optional ways to view them. I just don't want to see them hard coded and replacing the old way when the better answer, to me, is to allow us to all build our own views.
