Feel the Heat(er)

I very rarely pimp my work; of course, outside of TC I have very little work to pimp, but not this week. I've been working with John Brunson at Heater magazine as the "team expert" for the Braves (imagine that). He's got an expert for each team (including a regular commenter on TC, Rain Delay, who experts for the M's). Both of us contributed to John's Graphical Player 2009, which was a terrific snapshot of every major leaguer -- particularly useful for fantasy baseball players.

Now that the season is nearing, he's putting out his weekly newsletter called... wait for it... "Heater." You can go to the site and read all about it, and even download a sample issue, but the tag line says it all, "It's like a Draft Package every week of the season!"

The basic gist is that Heater is a great place to get all the information and stats about players in one place. It's a must if you're a fantasy baseball player, and it's a "probably should" if you're a passionate fan of baseball (and for everyone else it's a "wow, that's cool").

Can’t say I agree with your assessment of CF, but it’s a nice snapshot overall.

That’s my biggest leap, but the more I think about it the more I think Anderson will finally get his shot. Of course, that all still hinges on who our left-fielder will be.

Good rule of thumb

Dont draft THIS guy

Hey, dat was you?

I read the projected playing time report last night and missed that you were the man for the Braves. Good job.

As for Heater, this will be my third year subscribing. And I don’t even play fantasy baseball. During the regular season, they typically put out two issues a week, one about 60+ pages, the other about 30+. Good stuff. I use it when playing projection disk seasons with the Diamond Mind Baseball simulation. Also, a nice way to keep up with the real season. Last year they started a free daily box score service, too.
