I added an option for “Nth” best season (best to worst), as well as a cumulative option. Thanks for the ideas!

Well, one thing that would be nice is a sortable graph, so that we could see players from high-to-low (or low-to-high) rather than just chronologically. Or, as I mentioned above, if there were a cumulative (or summative) feature that would allow us to see not only how much (for example) WAR Albert Pujols accumulated in a given year, but also his career to date. I mean, that’s a great feature to be able to have in the regular statistics section, as well, but it’s ESPECIALLY informative when represented visually, so that we can see something like, “Oh wow! A lot of Cap Anson’s value came after age 35!” Or “Weird. Dale Murphy played until he was 27, but like 90% of his value was accumulated by age 31.” That kind of stuff is really neat to see in a graph, I think.

Thanks Dr. Doom! What other features do you have in mind specifically?

Fantastic! I love it!
It would be cool if, eventually, there were some other features revolving around graphs (graphs of sums, for instance, are particularly informative). But I suppose that’s just me being greedy. Wonderful new development, though.
