Fantistics Baseball Customer Testimonials
In our season ending
survey we asked subscribers if they were interested in submitting a
testimonial which we could publish:
(in
alphabetical order)
1st place
again...3 years in a row. It's because of Fantistics. (Bill Smith)
All I can say is,
"Here I go again!". I just won my 4th playoff championship in 6
seasons! I am in a 14 team head-to-head keeper league, with very
dedicated/competitive managers. I've been with Fantistics since
year one (2004), have finished 1st or 2nd during the regular season
5 times and as stated above, have won the playoff championship 4
times! Fantistics is the ONLY fantasy baseball resource I use.
Results speak louder than words, and my team's success year after
year speaks volumes about Fantistics value! (Steve Clark)
"Better than
Benson." (John J. Figone)
Count me in
(again) for next year. With your help, I finished in the money with
both of my leagues. Keep up the good work. (Don Hallwachs)
Excellent hitting
forecasting. Both league finishes were due to pitcher under
performance. Hamels, Liriano, Gallardo. (Jim Kaszuba)
Excellent
product. Very loyal fan here. Thank you! I always finish in the
money in my leagues!! (Jon Roberts)
Fantastics keeps
one current and in many respects, ahead of the competition in
Fantasy BB leagues... (William Heron)
Fantasy baseball
is 33% Draft, 33% active roster management, and 34% luck. Fantistics
can't fix the luck part, but sure helps me with the other two. (King
Adrock)
Fantasy baseball
is my hobby. I don't have alot of hours to spend on research and
daily injuries and trends; therefore I rely on Fantistics to do the
research and provide me with a professional approach both at the
draft and during the season. (John (jay) Braun)
During the survey we asked
subscribers if they were satisfied enough to return in 2010:
-
Yes: 91%
-
Maybe: 8%
-
No: <1%
Fantistics had
another excellent year providing valuable timely information. Some
of the insights were great to add useful players. One thing that no
site can predict is injuries and I got hit with that bug late in the
season and finished a disappointed third, which is unusual with a
Fantistics subscription. (William Doll)
Fantistics has
in-depth analysis written in a format that is easily accessible by
players at all levels of expertise from newbie to veteran expert.
The news feature is second to none. (Tim McCullough)
Fantistics is
great! It was a major reason for my team dominating the regular
season (28.5 games ahead of the second place team) and finishing the
playoffs in third. The only reason I failed to win the title was
Nelson Cruz inexplicably sitting 4 games during the next to last
week, as well as Victor Martinez, Manny, David Wright and Borbon all
sitting that Sunday. I lost runs, net steals and rbi by 1 each,
going 6-8 during the week. Winning any one of those categories
would have given me a .500 or better record for the week and sent me
through to the finals, which I would have won handily. (Shawn
Chastain)
Fantistics - Worth much more than the
price of a family dinner at the local restaurant! - (Richard Demsey)
For the first
time I finished first out of 11 teams. The past 5 or 6 years I have
been in the bottom three every year. This year, I had the league
one with the team I drafted using the projection software. I
probably didn't even need to make any trades or pickups. (Adam
Fleischner)
For the minor
areas that I was accustomed to using this service has the best
offerings. I felt no panic in draft day competition with the other
owners in my league. I was prepared and felt the projections were
well thought out and professionally delivered. (John Hallissey)
Good stuff. Been
using for years and this is the 1st time my team underperformed.
(Kid Blucher)
Great product I'm
competitive every year. (JOSEPH JONES)
Great service, as
usual! (Alan Park)
Great Service.
Best on the Market. I have use others in the past and Fantistics
Baseball is a homerun and pitches a shutout against all other fantasy
baseball services. (Dale Marlar)
Great source for
baseball insights that can't be obtained elsewhere. (Bill Klimas)
Great stuff all
season - Wouldn't be able to do without it during the season. (John
Anonymous)
Great stuff I
will be back next year (Jon Hoffman)
GREAT STUFF THANK
YOU (KEN FARHAT)
I couldn't have
done as well as I did this year without the accuracy of the 14-day
pitching projections. Very valuable tool! (Randolph Gambelunghe)
I don't know how
to use everything here, I use the Expected Logs, Team Tracker data,
news, Weekly Planning sheet etc Love the service, data is wonderful
and articles and opinions are very important to my success (John
Hraba)
I felt Fantastics
kept me a jump ahead of the other teams in my league by keeping me
informed of player trends,moves and rumors. Felt I had a definite
advantage. (Ron Clark)
I have been using
Fantistics since 2003 and have finished first in at least one league
every year, and my lowest place finish EVER in all the leagues I've
played in (about 15) was 4th, and that only happened once. Thanks,
and keep up the good work! (Keith Sauter)
See
the details of the Player Projections Software
I have been using
this site for a long time now. Biggest advantage is on draft day
where more often than not the bold predictions for certain players
to have very good years that are not hyped on other sites really pay
off for me. Great "steals" for players taken after the 14th round
when other owners don't care as much is where I excel. (Greg LaBonar)
I have been using
your service for over 6 years, and consistently make the playoffs
and often with the championship!!! (Joe Carey)
I have played
Rotisserie baseball for 17 seasons, with a smattering of 2nd, 3rd,
and 4th place finishes. Since subscribing to Fantistics last year,
I finished 2nd in '08, and now 1st in my highly competitive keeper
league. And this despite having Brad Lidge and Matt Capps as my
primary closers this season! Way to go guys--your information
rocks! (Frank Basich)
I like the
changes made to the site each year. Big fan of the Projections
Software and Prospect Central. I will be renewing my subscription
next year. (Alan Reese)
I love the
pre-season insight.
(Jason Walters)
I love the
site... (Ron Festa)
I love the
software and Fantastics in general. The daily news information is
great. And all for a very affordable price. Keep up the good work
and I look forward to using you next year as well. (Robert Gonzalez)
I love you guys.
(Andrew Stokes)
I love your site
I use it for Baseball and Football, I will continue to use it in the
years to come. (Jason Reed)
I love your
stuff. It is the best. The Daily Email Updates during the season
are the only reading I do...so there. I don't want my name
published...because I don't want these guys to know what source I
use. Just call me The Punisher. 4 league championships in 10 years
in a very competitive 12 man league says enough. I rock and
Fantistics Rules! (John K)

I only pay for
one baseball analytics package and fantistics is the one. (frank
longman)
I placed 1st out
of 11 teams. This was my first year playing fantasy baseball. I
knew nothing and chose my players strictly using your draft
software. Fantistics was a referral from a friend. He also placed
1st out of 10 teams in a separate leage. Good stuff! (Ron Tedesco)
I really like the
software to prepare for the draft. The updates were fresh and I was
never better prepared than I was this season for our auction. I
enjoyed the daily news updates. (William Myers)
I think the
information you provide is great. If not for underperformance by
almost all my pitchers (I hate Joba Chamberlain) I would have been
fine this year. (Bob McCormack)
I took over a
NL-only 4x4 team in a 12-team league that's been around for 20
years, and was sort of intimidated coming into the draft. But using
Fantistics I was able to manage my money so well, that I actually
left the draft with money left over. While I regret leaving money
on the table I definitely felt that I had a leg up on the other
experienced owners busy leafing through magazines while the clock
was ticking. (Tony Martinez)
I used Fantistics
Baseball Analysis for the first time this season and won my first
fantasy baseball championship in 3 years! Even with the destruction
of Josh Hamilton in 2009, I had built depth thanks to the excellent
projections and analysis of the Fantistics crew, and rode that depth
all the way to first place. (Shane Cole)
I used the
pitching stat projections to draft the best ever SP/RP/CL ever in
our league - had 6 of top 20 SP, and RP was among the top as well. I
also had very good hitting, and used the player projections in
season to draft new players to replace my underperformers. Came in
second, even with my SS Reyes basically out for the year with his
injuries, so my second tier SS tandem of Andrus and Guzman had to
carry the load at SS. (Bob C)

I won my league
this year and I have to give credit to the customization of the
draft day software. It helped me immensely. I was prepared at my
draft (no computers allowed) with the cheatsheets and had a great
team from day one. (Andrew Palo)
I won this year
and our league includes sports writers from the Indianapolis Star
who watch this stuff every day. I am an accountant that works 12
hour days and I do not have time to do research. I just need quick
intel that allows me to make a move and then I am back at work.
Thanks and I appreciate the help your service provides. (Greg
Schmalfeldt)
I'm a long-term
subscriber and your service keeps me out of the basement. I have
little time to dedicate to analysis and, if not for your service, I
would not be able to compete. I won my league two years ago and made
a run for first this year (finished second). (Jerrell Habegger)
I've been with
Fantistics for a few years and every year they are a huge help. I'll
be back in 2010. (Jeff Imes)
I've played only
4 years, but have won the last 2. Your daily emails and your draft
tool are just awesome. I waited on value throughout the auction,
and didn't overpay for players like Reyes or Wright. At the end of
my draft I was able to scoop up $1 Aaron Hill, $8 Javier Vasquez, $4
Kershaw, $8 Josh Johnson etc etc etc. Without your projections and
you daily emails I never would be in the position I am in, and would
have virtually no chance to win my keeper league. Instead, I am
dominating. (Eric Schmiedicke)
I've won 5
championships in the last 9 years and I've used Fantistics most of
that time. Obviously I've found the information and analysis
extremely helpful and insightful. (Jim Reeves)
I've won both
leagues for two years in a row. Your website has been very important
to my success. I've never finished lower than 3rd in the past five
years. I think the guys are a little embarrassed loosing to a girl. (michele
miller)
If you use the
software to aid you in drafting, the only way you can do poorly in
your league is if your team suffers due to major injuries, player
under performance, or poor ownership decisions (like making dumb
trades). The software gives you a great start to your fantasy
baseball season. (Russ Fazio)
In my primary
league, I have a great shot at winning the championship. This would
not have been possible without the help of Fantistics. I am looking
forward to using your services for many years to come. Keep up the
great work! (Dan Cecchelli)
It demands your
time but throughout the season, Fantistics will no doubt provide you
with the details no one else will provided and this can give you
that competative edge. I find the staff at Fantistics provides the
important information about a day before it appears at any other
fantasy web site. (Brian Fink)
It was the best
year I ever had overall....The draft software has proved
indispensable for managing the often hectic online drafts. (Craig
Connelly)
During the survey we asked
subscribers what their impression was of our 2009 player
projections:
Keep up the good
work. (Robert Krahn)
Keep updating the
draft projections real time. If you guys do the hard work to
reflect changes in draft projections based on happenings at spring
training then I will use you. People are busy and rely on you to
keep them current. Example: Motte got the closers job the night
before my draft. You reflected that news and I grabbed him late (he
lost the job to Franklin as you know but Motte had the job coming
out of ST) (John Vincent)
Love your service
have finished in the money 6 out of the last 6 years, 3 - 1st, 1 -
2nd and 2 - 3rd. (Dave Kerlagon)
love your
strategies - love your draft cheatsheet - love your monthly
over/under rated. (David Sandefer)
Lyle Logan is a
jewel !! His pitching rotations are far and away the most useful
tool that I use. He alone is worth the price. The man is so on top
of his game that I find it hard to express how good he is. (Bob
Oberlin)
My opponents rely
on CBS for player info and projections. I depend on FANTISTICS
INSIDER, and that's how I get into the money! (Jason Roy)
Outstanding
Product! Best I have found, really like the prospect central stuff
(we keep minor players on our rosters) and the in depth information
on the pitching! Our league is very pitching intensive scoring
wise! It took me 6 years to win the championship again but we got
it done! Thanks again! (Dean Badger)
Overall great
service I use your service for info and I make my own decisions
regardless of your advice but I always consider you're comments (Hal
Goldstein)
Overall, I love
the site. (J. Stewart Higley)
Playing in a
National league only league, every player counts on your roster,
picking up key bench players to fill in based on your suggestions
put me in the money again this year. Thanks! (jim kauss)
Several teams use
other software, especially at the draft. So far, in the two years I
have used your software, I have enjoyed the software overall and
feel that it much better than what others in my league use. (Brad
Mayfield)
Since 1999 i´ve
been feeling secure in my draft "cheating" with the help provided
from Fantistics. I´m from Venezuela and not many people can afford
to pay the annual subscription, so I think I have a secret weapon
available only for me. Thank You. (Luis Gerardo Venegas Guerrero)
Thanks...it was
great..just too many injuries and Hamels/Zambrano/ etc....etc. let
me down (Ron Strauch)
The arrival in my
inbox of the daily AL and NL Fantistics player news and analysis is
like having a couple of stocking gifts to open each morning during
half the year. I enjoy the insightful comments and appreciate the
compilation of press news from publications around the country. Thanks for all
your help. I'll be back next season. (Rick Goff)
THE BEST!!! I'm
your happiest customer, for years!!! (Seth Gatchell, Jr.)
The daily reports
are extremely helpful, serving up all the info you need right in
your inbox every morning. (Chris Sardella)
The in season
information has been better than the Sportsline or ESPN info.
I count on your website over either of the others. Without
your site, I'd be lucky to make the playoffs. (Steven Flowers)
The mock draft
and draft day features were real helpful. Also some of the draft
strategies were beneficial. (John Lally)
The previous 2
years I ended up in last place (12 team league). This year I used
Fantistics with my draft and I received nothing but raves. With 1
week left I have a 10 point lead. (Barry Kusatzky)
There is a lot of info in one
place and the Fantistics staff is better than most of the fantasy
"experts" on the different news sites covering MLB. (Mark Dmohowski)
The tools
provided this year were very helpful and would have made a
difference had my team not been riddled with injuries. I would be
VERY interested in an app. for my Blackberry Tour!!!! (joey
markowski)
There is a little
saying at our draft..."follow the system" between those of us using
Fantistics (and those using other software), so often I don't follow
it "going off the page" and have not been as successful in the past
years. This year, I sure did follow the system and it paid off with
a league title. (Rusty Hudson)
Thanks for all
the good work and keep it up. (Paul Hoh)
This is the 2nd
year I have used Fantistics and have been pleased with the results.
I am in 2 NL Only 12 team leagues, and won 2 championships in the
last 2 years, as well as finishing in the top 3 in the other 2
leagues. (Steve Liedtke)
This site is the
best thing out there. My friend and I were disappointed to start
seeing others in our league finally figure out what software we were
using. We felt it gave us a HUGE advantage in our draft, especially
with the only fly updating as we run through our auction. (mike
giovacchini)
This software is
an excellent value! I'm in for my 5th season. (Dave Stumm Sr)
Very solid
day-to-day analysis that you won't find anywhere else. (David
Donahue)
We have been
utilizing your service for five yrs and find it to be unquestionably
the finest fantasy baseball insider information available. Thank
you for another terrific season. See you next year! (Rod Steves)
YOU GUYS ARE "THE
MAN" WHEN IT COMES TO INFO FOR FANTASY BASEBALL. (G LITTLEJOHN)
you guys do a
nice job - keep it up! (scott cappis)
you have great
stuff. price is right, draft software is why i buy, but daily
updates (if my time allowed), are beneficial. (Roger Gilbert)
You provide me
with more information that I could ever want. At my finger tips. I
get to choose how "deep" I want to get with my research. (jamie
padgett)
Your insights,
backed by statistical analysis have proven to be a winning
combination for me. I have not been lower than third in the last
four years and finished first twice. Insider Baseball has shown
over and over again to have the market cornered on providing me with
the best information that is simple to use. Thankfully I didn't
screw it up. (Jim Gillingham)
Your pitcher
projections this year were excellent - I drafted Lincecum, Vasquez,
and J. Johnson among my starters and they really carried me. Your
insight on Heath Bell was also spot-on. (John Lattig)
Your preseason
projections are mostly spot on. An extremely valuable tool in all
league formats. I play in both national salary based leagues and
private auction leagues. The fantistic projections are the only
tools I use for my drafts. (wayne mcclintock)
