Really what I would like is for every player to be reduced to a WAR value. And then have a way of normalizing WAR by age. Ex. 2 players may have the same WAR, but what is a 27 year old player with 3 WAR worth compared to a 24 year old player of 2.5 WAR? Then, you need to normalize WAR by both contract length and cap hit.
Get every player down to this one number. Because then I can just follow our roster with an Excel spreadsheet. And then I don't need to worry what Sportsnet+ charges, or how much concession prices go up in the new arena, or what does or doesn't happen at the trade deadline or the draft.
I can just watch my Excel line graph and know whether my portfolio is going up or down. And gloat/despair as appropriate.
