When I'm playing stats-only, the lack of the graphical bars for the attributes is kind of an eyesore. It means that when playing stats-only you have a graphical suggestion that you aren't playing the game as intended, because right in the middle of the screen there's an empty hole where normally there would be an intuitive visual reference to define the player. So basically good design for the regular games because almost a punishment for stats-only.

How hard would it be to change those attributes bars to stat bars?

Instead of a contact rating it could be a bar graph representing 1B/AB (over the last three seasons, weighted toward most recent) and with the bar sizes corresponding to the appropriate contact. So 17.3% 1B/AB is about what you'd expect for an 11 contact (1-20) so a 17.3% 1B/AB shows up as a graph the size of an 11 contact.

Gap would be (2B+3B*2)/AB, represented the same way.

Power is HR / AB

Eye is BB / PA

Avoid Ks is K/AB

It would give you a sexy quick-reference visual for your players, but would not violate any of the rules of stats-only.

The payoff would be subtle, but I'd appreciate it all the same.
That's a really good suggestion and probably the main reason i don't play stats only. Though instead of stats in that space, I'd rather have the scouting report.

Actually, why not just make the profile page fully customizable like the gm home page?
