As a baseball fan and fantasy baseball player, I hope you don't mind if I say that I am not finding this site very useful (or am I not able to figure out how to use it effectively.) For instance, given that we are only 3 (or 4) days into the season, showing 2012 season stats is not very useful yet. Showing projections might be useful -- you don't even have to make your own projections, as there other well-known projections out there such as Bill James', ZiPS, Marcel, etc. Another issue is that selection of stat categories for the "BE scorecard" does not match up with most fantasy baseball 5x5 leagues since it is missing AVG. I think the idea of bringing more data visualization to baseball is great though. This is actually the topic I am using for my class project in my data visualization class (due in a couple weeks now!) I will definitely keep an eye on this site though, and hopefully you will continue developing and improving it. |

Tyrone, it seems like your site's main marketability strategy is to allow fantasy owners big and small to customize their own comparisons and data visualization based on the stats they want to see. So with the above concern raised in mind, what if you allowed users to input their own 5x5 categories for their league and boiled that down into one number?
For example if someone was playing in a league that counted just Hits, Runs, Stolen Bases, Home Runs and OPS, and they wanted to know how Alexi Ramirez was doing in this format, they could just input these five stats and create a "Custom BE Rating".
This way, the hardcore data crunching aspect is still there, but the user will still be able to get a full amount of value from the site because it offers them the ability to tailor the data to their own league.
