Thanks, nice idea.

Unfortunately it's hard to read cause almost every player has an AVG
between 0.200 and 0.400. So the bars don't give you a good reading of the
smaller but important differences. I would suggest to display numbers.

Is there a gadget available that just displays the results and standings?
thx.

I think a graph is easier to grasp quickly. But you are correct about
batting average, which needs a different scale to more easily see
differences. OTOH, the difference between batting .270 and .280 over the
course of a season is what, 4-5 hits? How important is that?
