Suggestion

Add a customizable "Since Date X" split to the dropdown menu of available stat splits. When selected, this would pop up a window asking the user to select a date (similar to the "Auto Play to Date X" window), and then display all stats accumulated by players between that date and the present (including the selected date itself).

Reason

Every season is marked by it's own "special", unpredictable events. The day a key player goes down with an injury, the day a top prospect joins the team, the day a team ends a long losing streak, etc., and many articles about real baseball will cite a team or player's performance since such events. The available, preset weekly/monthly splits are not sufficient to allow users to mine data precisely enough to experience this ourselves.

Priority

Low.
