MOTY Launches for Baseball Fantasies

Designed for people who play fantasy baseball, the "Manager of the Year" (MOTY) website provides subscribers with a variety of evaluation/research tools to help them play and compete in their fantasy baseball leagues, including those hosted by prominent internet providers. For each player, the MOTY system distills over ten relevant stats down to one number, his MOTY#, which represents that player`s overall fantasy value.

Fantasy baseball is big and continuing to get larger. Last year some 5-6 million people participate in leagues varying in cost from free to those charging several hundred dollars to sometime over $1,000 in leagues with big money payouts. There`s even a big "tourney" league that pays out $100,000 to the national winner. Typically, most people pay in a range from $14.95 to $29.95 per team for a season.
