Fantasy Baseball sites?

by TallMatt on Feb 10, 2009 11:47 AM EST Comment 11 comments

All,

I'm looking for opinions on fantasy sites. My friends and I like playing a point-based game (not rottessiere) where you get points for basically everything good...and lose them for bad things.

In the past, we used Sandbox.com - but the website seemed really old, and the price has gotten expensive ($40/person for a league)

Last year, we tried sportsline.com - and they let us customize everything, and had tons of data...however, nothing could really be tailored to how we used it. Information overload.

What other sites have people used - and enjoy?

thanks

mostly hosting

advice is all over the Internet…I don’t really need it to be on the same site

We have a commissioner service that is quite flexible and is only $50 for an entire league. I believe there is a sample link on the main page where you can try it out. If not, give me a list of needs and I’ll pass them onto the service team and find out if we meet all of them.

Yahoo is the best

But I don’t think they have the options your looking for

100% Free

Yahoo is free, unless you sign up for one of their Plus leagues. My experience is that the free leagues are as good as any of the other pay league sites.

Hey TallMatt

Im not sure if they will be 100% ready for your league this year but check out.

www.fantrax.com

They are still in beta but are free to try. Id say they are about 90% or so done and have an outstanding look and feel so far.

Also, if you could not get it done with sportsline im not sure you going to find a site that can do exactly what your looking for. From what i’ve seen they have the most options available in a commish product.

I’ll check out Yahoo, and both of those other sites. ESPN also says they have everything, and its all free – I find that a little hard to believe, considering they charge for a ton of content just on the regular website with the Insider service. Any experience there?

I've used ESPN for both baseball and football the past few years.

Since I haven’t used anything else, I probably can’t comment on how it compares to others, but I’m perfectly happy with it. For football it’s especially awesome since if you have Fios you can input your ESPN username in your cablebox and it will give you updates on your players during the games. For baseball we’ve always done a Rotisserie league but we’re switching to H2H this year. It also seems to have a fairly large selection of stats since our LM switches which ones it keeps track of every year. Also, it’s free. There might be some premium stuff you can pay for, but I’ve never been tempted to.
