Suggestion
Add OPS+ and ERA+ to player records

ERA+ = ERA measured against the league average, and adjusted for ballpark factors. An ERA+ over 100 is better than average, less than 100 is below average.

OPS+ = OPS measured against the league average, and adjusted for ballpark factors. An OPS+ over 100 is better than average, less than 100 is below average.

Reason
They take park factors into consideration and it makes it easier to tell (at a glance) if player X or player Y is having a better season compared to the rest of the league.

In short: A guy that has a .900 OPS at Coors Field isn't the same as a guy who has a .900 OPS at Petco Park. If you look at OPS+ it will favor the guy hitting at Petco.
