On our premium site we offer content that is more advanced, in terms of content and analysis, than what we have on the free site. Premium subscribers get our exclusive 1-800 number, plus instant access via email, our updated rankings and Mike Podhorzer's projections that went 42-0 heads up against every other system out there, including PECOTA, Chone, ZiPS and everyone else. And, you get articles from Mike, myself and some of the best writers and analysts around. Oh, and Lenny's daily podcast! Lenny's daily podcast is worth the price of admission by itself. Here is an example of the type of content you get on the Premium Site, so we hope you will consider signing up.
First, some of you may have been wondering, "Where the hellz that scumbag Greco been?" – for those that don’t give a damn, I’m going to tell you anyway.As we continue to grow the FP911.com brand, I’ve taken on a more active role in handling the business, which has limited my time chatting with some of you. But, every once and while I’m going to throw my thoughts together so you can have an honest, non-biased opinion on what I see going on around fantasy baseball. Before I begin, let me put your minds at ease.These rants are not targeted at anyone, period.It’s just things I’ve seen this season that have kinda got under my skin or things that I thought, “holy crap, great idea.”So there’s my disclaimer.
We started FantasyPros911.com with little expectation of the immediate success we would have. The site was the brainchild of Paul Greco, who wanted to offer something no one else in the industry offered, the best customer service and the development of a community. From this seed was sown the almost immediate and overwhelming response we have had.
This feeling of community is what drives the site. Nowhere is this better exemplified by The Godfather of Fantasy Baseball, Lenny Melnick. Lenny was voted the Favorite Fantasy Sports Expert at Advanced Fantasy Baseball, after less than one year into the site’s existence. This is no surprise, as Lenny is easily the most accessible and friendly guy in the industry, and has scores of faithful followers.
Lenny has the best daily podcast in Fantasy Baseball, which is provided to our Premium Subscribers. Considering that only our Premium Subscribers get his podcast and he still won that vote against guys whose stuff is available for free, we think that it says a lot about Lenny’s expertise. Like Yogi Berra, Lenny may be prone to a funny malaprop here and there, but his expertise is some of the best around.
