Uncommon Stats for Uncommon Players
WINNER of the 2008 CBS Sportsline Fantasy League of Experts!
With the canniest baseball intelligence on the planet.
Lots of web sites have data. INTELLIGENCE is something more. INTELLIGENCE is data chosen with care and arranged for impact.
We don't think that you should have to be a spreadsheet guru to win your league. You know your league; we know the data.
HEATER features three sections: 30 team pages (one for each MLB team), 17 hitter pages (one for each position and league), and 8 pitcher pages (two for each position -- starter or reliever -- and league). This approach lets us show players in different contexts. The wealth of data is buttressed by two pages of fantasy baseball coverage, a page of Hot Hands, a page of year-to-date minor-league stats and commentary for top prospects, and more! It's like a Draft Package every week of the season!
All this information is carefully arranged on easy-to-print pages. And to give you a jump on newsstand publications, each week's issue is generally waiting for you first thing TUESDAY MORNING.

We publish as a PDF, using the free Acrobat Reader. We publish weekly in the regular season. Curious? Download the sample issue -- it's a FULL recent issue!
