Eg. If players contatct is rated 7(or 70), it means he is great contact hitter. you look up in the cheatsheet, what a "great contact" actually means in terms of stats and there you go - you can assume he might hit around .290.
Fun, kinda related fact - average OBP is ~.60 higher than AVG, so you can project that stat easly using contact and eye ratings..and doing the maths. .

That's a good idea about the colors. I did post the Excel 2007 file, if anyone wants to make their own edits. But, I'll probably use that color scheme at some point. Thx.

All data has been taken from Fan Graphs. So, I'd say it's more reflective of current MLB statistics.
