Ron Shandler's Creations, Past and Present

The Fanalytic Rules

  • Draft skills, not stats.
  • Once you display a skill, you own it.
  • This is not a game of precision. It is a game of human beings and tendencies.
  • This is not a game of projections. It is a game of market value versus real value.
  • Exercise excruciating patience.
  • It is easier to be crappy than it is to be good.
  • Chronically injured players never suddenly get healthy.
  • Right brain dominance has a very long shelf life.
  • Poor second halves don't get recognized until it's too late.
  • The two strongest forces on Earth are gravity and regression.
  • 100% of winnings must be spent on significant others

Testimonials

"For those among us who have been playing roti-ball since the early 1980s, Baseball HQ is a dream become reality. Cheers to Ron Shandler, whose open methodology and consistent approach provides the best player performance predictions in the roti-universe."
F. X. Flinn,editor of the original Rotisserie rules and first publisher of 'Rotisserie League Baseball'
"Shandler loves him" was a commonly-used phrase at the Rotowire staff auction when we wanted to drive up the price of a player.
Scott Pianowski,Rotowire.com
"There are dozens of Web sites retailing Roto advice. The best I have found is BaseballHQ.com, which does a superb job blending the practical and the theoretical. Many was the day that I passed the office of Senior Writer John Byrne, who won our league last season, and found him studying BaseballHQ.com when he should have been finishing a story or something. Not that I'm bitter."
Business Week, "How to Build Your Dream Team"March 31, 2003
"For massaging the numbers and writing clearly about them, no one's better than Ron Shandler."
