I just copy & paste from the website to excel and hide or delete the columns that I feel are un-neccessory. My recommendation is not to get "Lost" in the overabundance of stats it seems people are asking for. Some of the best sabermwtrics are the simpler ones...

It does not need to include regular stats that are already on main player page. The expanded would also include the additional defensive stats I am sympathetic to your point. I have two questions: 1. Can't small font size be alleviated using the zoom feature on your browser or phone/tablet. 2. We may expand the site width from 1000 to ~1100-1200 pixels. This would give us more space to display statistics columns and/or possibly larger font sizes. Current font sizes are 11 pixels for standard tables and 9.5 pixels for the expanded tables. Steve
