I sometimes wish they just displayed the hidden BABIP rating, instead of Contact. Then just let us assess a player's ability to make quality contact (i.e., "Contact", as it is today) by also reviewing Power and Avoid K.

For sure, but let's say both players have Avoid K = 80. So they avoid strikeouts at a fairly strong rate, but it's not the driving force behind their "Contact" rating (so they have good BABIP).
