We started FantasyPros911.com with little expectation of the immediate success we would have. The site was the brainchild of Paul Greco, who wanted to offer something no one else in the industry offered, the best customer service and the development of a community. From this seed was sown the almost immediate and overwhelming response we have had. This feeling of community is what drives the site. Nowhere is this better exemplified by The Godfather of Fantasy Baseball, Lenny Melnick. Lenny was voted the Favorite Fantasy Sports Expert at Advanced Fantasy Baseball, after less than one year into the site’s existence. This is no surprise, as Lenny is easily the most accessible and friendly guy in the industry, and has scores of faithful followers. Lenny has the best daily podcast in Fantasy Baseball, which is provided to our Premium Subscribers. Considering that only our Premium Subscribers get his podcast and he still won that vote against guys whose stuff is available for free, we think that it says a lot about Lenny’s expertise. Like Yogi Berra, Lenny may be prone to a funny malaprop here and there, but his expertise is some of the best around.
Aside from the community, we had some other great highlights in 2009. By far the biggest and best accomplishment for the site was our clean sweep in the Forecaster’s Challenge. FantasyPros911.com’s projections expert Mike Podhorzer pulled off a 42-0 record, beating The Hardball Times, Baseball Prospectus, KFFL, Razzball, CHONE, CBS Sports, ZiPS and every other fantasy site of repute in the industry in a head-to-head matchup of rankings systems, where each was rated on 275 players. So, you can be sure you are getting the best and most accurate projections. That is not mere puffery as it is with most sites; we have a title to prove it. Why? Mike’s methodology is not just one of computer-generated projections, but one that combines his expertise in fantasy baseball with a computer model to produce the finest projections in the industry. While other may claim that they are the “best” they did not beat ours in a head-to-head matchup. Secondly, we had great success in our inaugural Experts’ League. We finished in first place in that league as well, beating, among others, The Hardball Times, RotoWire, Creative Sports (now Mastersball), Fox Sports, FantasyBaseball.com and three-time Tout Wars Champ Mike Lombardo. Unlike most fantasy websites and blogs, we offer a slate of true fantasy experts and professionals. Unlike most fantasy baseball websites, we get interviews with players, access to clubhouses and have contacts throughout the baseball industry. We have professional writers on our staff, not just people that dabble in writing for their own blog. And we are your go-to source for fantasy advice in an emergency, so when you have a Fantasy Baseball emergency, you can subscribe to our Premium Site and we will be your 911 call. What else do we offer you? Not only do you get the best projections and great advice from Lenny Melnick, you get a roster of the best Fantasy Baseball podcasts of any site. You can check out BlogTalkRadio.com by clicking on the “popular” link for sports when the baseball season gets underway. You will see four or our shows ranked in the top ten overall shows, which is three more than every other site out there. Our number one show, and the number two sports show overall on BlogTalkRadio, is The Fantasy Baseball Roundtable. On that show we predicted, in our (infamous?) Are You Crazy segment, that: -Denard Span would outperform Jose Reyes.
-Justin Upton would out perform Ryan Ludwick.
-Russell Martin would not be a top ten catcher in mixed leagues. -Joey Votto would be a top NL first baseman.
-Fernando Rodney would hold the closer’s job and get over 30 saves. If you can find one site that made two of these correct predictions let us know and we will offer our kudos. You get the only 1-800 hotline in the industry. At any time should you need advice you can get one of our baseball experts on the line for advice, even right in the middle of your draft! We helped many owners directly, some of whom we spoke to every week to give advice, and every one of them will tell you that they either won their league or finished higher once they started calling us. We publish testimonials on our site, and here are some of the comments:
Perhaps most importantly, we have a community that includes all of our writers and a legion of fans and fantasy baseball enthusiasts. We are all accessible, answer phone calls, and have events where we can get together, meet people and just have fun watching baseball. If you have ever been treated badly by other sites, could not get a question answered in a chat or are just dissatisfied with inaccessibility of the people there, then FantasyPros911.com is for you. Speaking from experience, no other site offers the ability to just call up to chat about baseball on their dime. We do, and of all of the features that we offer, this is easily the most enjoyable and the most fun, at least for us. So, are you tired of finishing in the middle of the pack in your league? Are you sick of hoping to get your fantasy baseball questions answered in a chat with 1,000 other people? Are you looking for top-notch fantasy baseball advice, projections that beat every other competitor head-to-head and the unquestioned best customer service in the industry? We have the answer for you right here at FantasyPros911.com. Take a look at our free draft guide and if you like what you see, then consider signing up for our Premium Site and drop me a line with your comments. As Lenny Melnick is fond of saying, quoting the song Centerfield from Bull Durham, “put us in coach, we are ready to play.” Sure, he cannot sing like John Fogerty, but Lenny gives better fantasy advice. So, let us be your vehicle to fantasy baseball domination. Good luck in 2010!
