Is there any reason we can't have Off+, Def+, BsR+ and WAR+ stats?

Fangraphs (wRC+) used to include SB/CS but does not now.
(Off) next to WAR is now the total offensive contribution but it is hard to easily compare players to the average. (Off+) with 100 as average would do that.
Furthurmore, a (WAR+), (Def+) and (BsR+) stat would all help see exactly where a player stands in relationship with the average at one glance.
Does any stat site do this? How hard would it be to crunch existing numbers into these stats?
I'm thinking it would look something like this: 2013
Mike Trout 400 (Off+), 125 (Def+), 400 (BsR+), 500 (WAR+)
Chris Young 85 (Off+), 90 (Def+), 110 (BsR+), 80 (WAR+)
