Graphs!

I promised this when I first launched the site last year, and now I’m finally beginning to add them. So far, the only graphs that are available are on each player’s main page. (ie Albert Pujols)

This is just the beginning, as I’m going to work on adding graphs to many other pages. Let me know what you think.

    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.

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

  3. Dr. Doom says:

    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.

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

    Awesome, Dan! That was SO quick! Thanks so much! It really looks great.
