Good answer! As long as the core content of today's site stays available for the non-subscribing, I think this is a cool idea. I was worried that you were going to remove a lot of cool features we have today that makes people come to the site, personally I use the "compare games" on week history a lot, and I was worried things like that would be tucked under the pay model.
More advanced reports is fine to charge for, that is after all a premium service that most regular people won't have that much use for anyway.
I agree with you that $8 a month, $99 a year, isn't a lot of money, but it's proven difficult to charge for web content to consumer users, but maybe there's a niche you can tap into.
And hopefully, stuff like TheSource's analysis articles will still be available, love those!
