It would save a lot of time and effort if I didn't have to calculate these things externally when they're already calculated. VORP is exported, so I'd imagine the other things could be as well. These stats aren't like batting average or ERA, which can be calculated easily from a player's stats. They take league averages and replacement levels into account. I can't even figure out how WAR is calculated within OOTP.

Please, please just make them exportable!
Yes, please. This would save a lot of time.
