Fantasy Baseball Manager of the Year

MOTY Historical Rankings

Obviously, the 2010 player rankings have been the basis of your team management, while the MOTY projections were the bread and butter of your ’10 fantasy baseball draft preparation. But a look back in time at a player’s past production can be just as insightful as a look forward. If not more so.

MOTY’s new Historical Rankings give you that perspective.

Now you can research any baseball player from any season, 2009 - 1940 (with more decades to come), and see just how valuable he’s been, fantasy-wise, through the years. Go back through the rankings and you can see how any player’s MOTY# and stats have fluctuated from season to season. Was he consistently productive? Is he on the slide? Or climbing the rankings in recent years?

All insightful trends you’ll want to know as you get a head start on your 2010 draft.

Every year’s rankings provide you the same 27 sortable stat categories as the 2010 Weekly Rankings and Projections. Plus, the power of the MOTY Scope™ advanced filter player search — now with a new “Year Range” filter.

That’s all good and fine for players you can draft this spring, but why all the guys from yesteryear?

Well, for those of you who play simulated fantasy baseball games — like ESPN’s Classic Fantasy Baseball or Sporting News’ Strat-o-matic: The 70’s Game! — which allow you to draft players from any season, the MOTY historical rankings are the mother lode for your draft research and roster management.

Then there’s the “fun factor“ for baseball history buffs.

Curious as to how many shortstops hit 30+ homers between 1960 and 2000? Run a MOTY Scope search through the Historicals and you’ll get your answer. Want to compare Barry Bonds’ and Hank Aaron’s careers? Type in their names, click “Apply Filter“ and MOTY generates a head-to-head ranking with every year of their amazing careers — then allows you to sort them by any category like, say, “home runs“ maybe.

With the Historical MOTY Rankings, what you find, discover and learn is literally limitless.
