Fantasy baseball season is quickly approaching and many of you are close to league drafts. Once your team is drafted, the fear might start to creep in as you wonder if you made the right picks. Luckily FantasySP has you covered as I present you with the top 5 fantasy baseball tools we have to offer for the new season.
Trade Analyzer
A lot of hard work has gone into improving FantasySP for this baseball season. The trade analyzer is the best example of that. On the surface it may seem like not a whole lot has changed. You add players to a potential trade and try to find out who gets the better deal. Simple right?
For this baseball season the trade analyzer is much smarter. It can now show you the impact of a fantasy trade based on the league(s) you have synced. You can easily see how a trade improves your batting categories for outfielders or pitching categories for starting pitchers. And so much more!
In addition to that, you can also share these trades with leaguemates and have a mobile version of the tool for fast load times.
Player Alerts
Player Alerts is the perfect feature for a sport such as fantasy baseball because the season is so long. FantasySP will keep track of your players and automatically update the rosters behind the scenes. If we detect a major news trend, such as a suspension or an injury, then we will email you immediately to let you know. You can set Player Alerts to a setting of Low, Medium, or High depending on how often or how soon you would like to be alerted.
So go ahead and stay out late on those Friday or Saturday nights and let us worry about your fantasy baseball players. Have a look at an example Player Alert email.
Waiver Alerts
If you thought Player Alerts were cool, just wait until you check out Waiver Alerts. As you might have guessed, Waiver Alerts will work similar to Player Alerts, except Waiver Alerts are specifically tailored to your synced leagues. Do you really want to miss out on another minor league call-up?
Waiver Alerts will automatically analyze the waiver wire for significant trends relevant to your teams and send you an email when we find something interesting. Plus, the email will have relevant OWN/Start Trends, Player Stats, latest player news, and your fantasy team ratings/rankings.
I don’t have a fantasy baseball example to show you since the season hasn’t started, but I do have a fantasy football example to show you.
As an added bonus, we also offer a list of waiver wire trends based on the week or day.
Fantasy Assistant
You’ve never heard of the Fantasy Assistant before? This is the swiss-army knife of fantasy baseball tools. It has been designed to make your life a lot easier and works in conjunction with the trade analyzer, player alerts, and waiver alerts.
The Fantasy Assistant does tons of number crunching and analysis to see where your team ranks in comparison to other teams in your league. We rank and compare Full Rosters vs Starting Lineups to determine depth as the season progresses. We compare position based ratings so you can see how your Outfielders or Starting Pitchers rate throughout the season. You can even use this data to research potential trades.
New this year also includes category based analysis and team projections. You can compare any player on your roster to team averages to determine if a player is outperforming or underperforming in over 10 categories.
The best feature for the Fantasy Assistant is how it saves you time with the waiver wire. You can easily compare your player vs the free agent pool to determine the best available player based on “High Risk” factors or a more refined search such as stolen bases or a lower ERA.

Start or Sit Tool
Last but not least, we have the start sit tool for baseball. Throughout the season we will often find ourselves struggling to figure out who deserves a spot start and who should be benched. The start sit tool will give you all kinds of data to help make the decision a little bit easier.
Some key metrics might include the latest performance trend comparisons, own/start trends, expert ranking comparisons, split stats to see how well a player performs on the road vs at home, and much more.
As an added bonus, we also offer a mobile version of the start/sit tool to help you out while you are on the road.
