Lightbulb Fantasy Opinions Needed

As a fan of fantasy sports, I always wondered about ways to make it easier to find sleepers,stats, or player news in general. So I'd love to hear about opinions on a fantasy news site I have been working on. (MLB section is the only one done for now)

It grabs news articles and player news from all the best fantasy websites (rotoworld, fanball, espn, yahoo, cbs) and puts them in one spot. I even added free mobile player news/stats searches. It does NOT require a web browser, just text messages.

I'd love to hear from you guys on how to make it better. Like, should I add a fantasy trade analyzer for each sport?

A site by fantasy fans, for fantasy fans.

It looks quite good, to be sure.

A fantasy trade analyzer would be excellent, as would a section that ranks players by certain scales (5X5, specifically). You also may want to provide some links for different fantasy leagues, make recommendations, etc.

Thanks for the reply Dodger. I will definitely work on a trade analyzer then. If anything, it should definitely help new people to fantasy sports. I'm not sure what "5X5" means exactly if you could elaborate?

For now the "recommendations" I make are based on cbssports.com's top player rankings (Fantasy Baseball CBS SportsLine Player Rankings - Overall - CBSSports.com). If a guy isn't listed in there or is ranked very low, then I consider him the "fantasy surprises" category. (This is the box located in the bottom right) If one of these guys is having a decent week statistically , then he will show up in there.

5 x 5 is the standard fantasy format for baseball - it counts runs, home runs, RBI, stolen bases, and average for hitters, and wins, ERA, saves, strikeouts, and WHIP for pitchers.

I think you should search on Google or yahoo search engine.

you should add player rankers and top performers for each week. also add strategey advice and insight on how to win ur fantasy league if you dont have that. otherwise tis sounds good.
