Trend toward visual baseball data

This postseason, the baseball blogosphere (guh, I wince when I use that word but it fits here) has had a fascination with presenting data in a visual fashion.  It seems to be a trend to almost move away from traditional numbers tables and go to more eye-pleasing visual presentations.  The Hardball Times has a whole series of them during the 2010 postseason (a good example is their Paintomatic series).

But THT isnā€™t the only ones to incorporate this new brand of ā€œvisual baseball dataā€.  You can find examples of this at The Biz of Baseball and even Baseball Referenceā€™s blog.
