Fantasy Baseball Discussions by Fantasy Toolz

To quote Dr. Evil, "The details of our lives are quite inconsequential." What"s important is that we like fantasy, as it applies to the genre and the game derived from baseball statistics. We also enjoy developing analytical and computational “tools” for supporting the latter habit. Our goal is to share our fantasy baseball tools with a little help from the fantasy genre for context, allusion, and (fire and) ice breaking. In doing so, we hope to broaden the way our audience approaches fantasy
