Player Evaluation Tools

I write for Baseball Almanac on the blog. I said that to say I have created and published my own metrics for player evaluations that produce very different results for certain players. I am able to crunch the data from the game into my own tools to get the picture I am looking for. However, I would love to see an assortment of evaluation tools relying on different metrics and models that users could switch between when making personnel decisions.

I could envision a drop-down chart with X amount of publicly available metrics built in for users to choose between. For me, this moves away from the team scout/OSA model that provides limited information.

I know the development team has done a tremendous job of collecting and organizing so much data. I think the presentation of the data in its current format can be overwhelming for anyone not familiar with how to parse through it.
