I like [baseball-reference.com](http://baseball-reference.com) and [fangraphs.com](http://fangraphs.com), but I can’t figure out a way to compare multiple players.

What’s the easiest way to compare the WAR, K/BB, and FIP of Verlander, Hernandez, and Halladay? (aside from opening their stat page in separate tabs).

There is a “compare” tab in Fangraphs that you can use to compare players, but it’s graphs only, and FIP and WAR are not options. You can do ERA, K/BB, K/9, BB/9, LOB%, HR/9, AVG, WHIP, and BABIP.
