The Fantasy Man has finally arrived into the 21st century! Yup, I know, I know, the website still looks like it's from 1998, the blog is a hot mess of colors, the podcast is almost obsolete, and I'm lacking on new technology. It's time to start the revolution!
This week Fantasy Baseball Express launched it's first fantasy baseball application on the Android market. It's listed under the name "Fantasy Baseball Express" and you can get it for just $.99!!
This app is meant to be a platform to continue The Fantasy Man brand into the mobile application space. While it's a work in progress, there is more than $.99 worth of value in this little app. Here are some of the features right now....
1. Build a master list of fantasy baseball players and watch their stats live as they play. So, if you are away from the computer, at a BBQ, a wedding, a business meeting, in jail, your baby's delivery or at the in-laws, you can get the fantasy stats of your players with one click of the button. You don't have to log into a league app that either doesn't work or takes forever to load. You also don't have to waste time trying to get to your team from the browser. Players and live stats pop right up on the screen.
For those who say.... "I can use the browser to take me directly to my team".....
2. You can build custom fantasy teams. So say you're like me and you have 10 fantasy teams all mixed on CBS, Yahoo, ESPN, etc., you dont want to have to log in and out of each one right? So you can set up individual teams with only the players you want to watch. Click the team and get your stats for that team for the day! Takes two minutes to add your players to each custom team.
3. Even if you are NOT a fantasy baseball player but you love baseball in general. You can get the app and add in all the New York Yankees for example and while your out for the day, you can track stats and get your fix.
4. You get free personal advice from The Fantasy Man. There is a button right there in the app that opens up your email with my email address in it and you can send me a fantasy baseball question for quick advice. I'll most likely reply within 24 hours. Draft advice, strategy, waiver wire, trade advice....just ask!
5. You get a button that takes you right to the Fantasy Baseball Express blog. The blog articles instantly load right up into the app.
This app is more than just to read the blog and it's more than just getting access to your lineups. It's about being able to get your fantasy fix and get your stats when you want them for the players you want. I have 10 fantasy baseball teams and many of which have the same players. I put those players on the master list as those are the ones I'm most concerned about on a daily basis. You can add/delete as you please and if someone offers you a trade, you can plug in the players involved and watch them for a few days before you make that final decision.
This app, for $.99 is great! We already have the next phase of features in the works. This is an app that will grow and grow and grow with features! I hope you try it out and support The Fantasy Man. Please email us through the app with feedback and suggestions. Also, if you love it, please review it! Thanks for checking it out!
