FBR's hand compiled projections cover 16 categories for both hitters and pitchers. Hitter categories include G, AB, R, H, 2B, 3B, HR, TB, RBI, BB, K, SB, CS, AVG, SLG, OBP. Pitcher categories include G, GS, CG, SHO, IP, H, HR, BB, K, R, ER, W, L, S, ERA, WHiP.

Along with priding ourselves on the number of projections we offer, FBR is also one of few to offer hand-compiled projections. Each of the 700+ players projected every year by FBR is closely analyzed, looking at a wide range of variables including recent and career trends, age, playing elements (ie- home stadium, surrounding lineup), historical comparisons along with many other factors. Only after this process do we reach an agreeable projection amongst ourselves for the coming season.

When you purchase our draft package, you get instant access to everything available on our Member's menu at the top of each page, including the 2008 projections, cheatsheets you can customize to your particular league settings, fantasy analysis, plus all of our fantasy tools. This is an online draft package, with dynamically updating projections and cheatsheets, so you will always have an up to date set of projections when you are ready for your draft. 

You choose your own username and password when you sign up, however if you would like to change your access info, there is a link near the top on the left side of the members homepage that says "Change Your Password". Click that link and enter the same e-mail address you used to sign-up through Paypal (you must use the same one). Follow the instructions and enter whatever new combination you like. You can also update your e-mail address at any time from the member's homepage as well.

We offer dynamically updating projections and cheatsheets. What this means is that we update our numbers whenever news happens. In addition, throughout March, we will keep you informed with daily player updates of whose fantasy value is on the rise or on the fall. You can rest assured knowing you are armed with the latest info and projections when it comes time for your draft.

The username and password combination you chose when you joined should work. As soon as Paypal completes your payment (including E-Checks), this combination is automatically activated. If you are having problems entering our members area, the most common mistake is that your CAPS LOCK button is on. Your username and password are Case-Sensitive. Also, double check that you don't have any extra spaces in there as well, as this can cause your access info not to work. Basically, as long as you enter your username and password exactly, you should get in. However, as no system is infallible, just send us an e-mail if you are still having problems.

FBR's projections can be customized to nearly every scoring option used in leagues via our Customizable Cheat Sheets. With our Cheatsheets, you can select only the categories your league uses as well as the value allotted to each category. For example, if your league gives 4 points for a HR and 1 points for a walk, the Cheatsheet rankings can be altered to reflect these criteria, making them 100% pertinent to your league for optimum success! 

There are three primary scoring styles used in fantasy baseball: rotisserie, head-to-head and points.

The original scoring method used in fantasy baseball, rotisserie scoring applies a value to a team's rank within a category. For example, if your team leads your league in homeruns and there are 12 teams overall, you would receive 12 points in that category. If your teams has the fewest homeruns, you would receive 1 point in that category and so on. Standings are based on an accumulation of points covering all eligible categories. A typical 5x5 roto league would include the following categories: Hitters- Avg, Runs, HRs, RBIs, and SBs, Pitchers- Wins, Saves, Strikeouts, ERA, and WHIP.

A points based scoring league is a type of fantasy baseball league in which actual stats are not used but rather a value given to the stats. For example, your league may give 4 points for a homerun, 1 point for a stolen base and 10 points for a win. Standings are based simply on an accumulation of points covering all eligible categories.

Head-to-head is a method of play in which teams compete against each other on a weekly basis. These leagues may use either a points based scoring or roto. In a points based H2H, each week's winner is determined solely by who accumulates the most fantasy points duuring the week. In a roto H2H, at the end of the playing week, each of the relevant categories is awarded to one of the teams with ties recorded as ties. For example, if your team wins HR, R, RBI, W, K and ERA and loses AVG, WHIP and SB while tying in SVs, your record is 6-3-1 for the week. Standings are based on an accumulation of the weekly records.

Both refer to common category bases used in fantasy baseball. 4x4, the less popular of the two, consists of 4 hitting (BA, HR, RBI, SB) and 4 pitching (W, ERA, WHIP, S) categories while 5x5 includes runs and strikeouts, respectively.

A free agent is a player not on a team who is not currently on waivers that can be immediately added to any active roster.

Any player who has been recently released goes on 'waivers' for a pre-determined period, usually 2 or 3 days, during which time teams have the right to 'claim' the player. The waived player will be awarded to the team with the highest waiver priority at the conclusion of the waiver period. Once a team uses a waiver move, it moves to the back of the waiver priority list, a cycle that continues throughout the season. If a player comes off waivers without being claimed, he becomes a free agent.
