I don't have 7, but there's 3 in particular I like: WPA, UZR, and Dollars (FanGraphs has this and I find it to be pretty interesting)

"Whate'er should be our Zodiac's star
We all are born to make or mar.
To each is gi'en a bag of tools
Some mentors, and a set of rules:
And each must carve, ere life has flown,
A stumbling block, or a stepping-stone"
