"Back to back championships, three out of the last four, with a second place finish.  My league managers always want to know how I manage a quality pitching staff on such a low budget - don't let the secret out it's Baseball Notebook's predictions.  Great job and thanks again." Michael Walcott, Laguna Niguel, California

"For the last four years, I have been consistently 'ahead of the curve' for picking up players in my keeper league.  I am drafting players whom the owners have never heard of.  Jordan Lyles (who made Baseball Notebook's top 25 pitching prospect list in 2009) is such an example." Jon Klaybor, Buffalo, NY

"I'm currently in the 98th percentile in ESPN's Fantasy Baseball because of the awesome projections.  The service of this site, along with the accurate projections, are unparalleled.  You WILL NOT find a better site than this one.  I was a fantasy rookie but now I feel like I am one of the experts thanks to Baseball Notebook."  ZA, Los Angeles, California

Mark C., Milwaukee, Wisconsin

"2009 Fantasy Baseball Champion thanks to Baseball Notebook!  After four terrible seasons I searched for a difference maker.  I found it here!" ETM, Clearwater, Florida

"I won it all this year and being able to use your service to aid me in drafting choices and values has been an immense help.  On your projections, I paid $30 for Santana (in 2004) and had that purchase voted "the most overpaid player in the draft" by the rest of the league only to have them all come back at the end of the season and admit that I was right.  Thanks, keep it up."  REH, Minnesota

"Baseball Notebook highlights potential bargains and busts better than any other site on the web and is not afraid to go against "safe" or common projections you'll find everywhere else.  And best of all, they're usually right.  Baseball Notebook has kept me in the money of every league I've been in since I joined before the 2002 season.  Money well spent, I'll be back every year."  CW Plainview, New York

"Baseball Notebook always seems to be one step ahead of everyone else."  MS, Louisville, Kentucky

"I don't want any of my opponents to EVER know about this site.  I actually physically cut off the Baseball Notebook name from the top of the E-Book so that there is no chance of my fellow owners finding out about you.  Baseball Notebook is a HUGE reason why I am successful in fantasy baseball.  I use the projections continually throughout the season for all trade proposals made or received.  It is invaluable."  MB, Portland, Maine

Thanks for a great experience with your site."  NS, Alpharetta, Georgia

"Your combination of projections and remaining forecasts were extremely helpful in putting me in first place in an NL 4X4, highly competitive league in its 15th year."  JM, Sacramento, California

"At the time of the draft, I was laughed out of the room but I'm laughing now in the last month of a great run for first place!"  TAL, Lindenhurst, New York

"This service is phenomenal in accuracy and general information about players.  I would not refer anyone to this service simply because it will help me win my  league next year.  I do not want anyone else in my league having access to this site."  PS, Kanata, Ontario, Canada

"...the essays alone have helped me to victory in two of my fantasy leagues."  JR, Portland, Oregon

"Although I'm a loyal subscriber,  I've never given a 'testimonial' since the last thing I want my competitors to do is to sign up with Baseball Notebook!  But fair is fair so I have to thank David and his team for keeping me in the money for the 5th year in a row..." RS, Stony Brook, NY 

"Not only is (this) the best site on the web for the most accurate fantasy baseball projections available, I've learned more about the game of baseball in a few years of subscribing to this site than I did playing baseball for 18 years.  I'm still waiting for the day the Dodgers announce David Luciani as their new GM."  ZA, Los Angeles, CA.

"Baseball Notebook projections were the main reason I had the highest point total in my head-to-head league.  The depth and detail of the projections allowed me to win the regular season in spite of key injuries... Thank you Baseball Notebook!" CSM, Columbus, Ohio

"Attention to Baseball Notebook's forecasts and essays - especially when I initially disagree - has enhanced my success in AND my enjoyment of fantasy baseball, which is saying a lot since I've been playing for over ten years.  I find the approach of your service to be several cuts above any other with which I'm acquainted.  Keep up the fine work!"  JR, Chicago, Illinois

"I played in 12 leagues this year and I'm in 1st or 2nd in 11 of them.  I've gotten a bunch of great players in the late rounds... I highly recommend it (just not to anyone I play against)."  EF, Shrewsbury, Mass.

"Last 5 years of 12 team AL 5x5 Roto = 2004-1st, 2005-Last, 2006-2nd, 2007-1st, 2008-1st." AHS, Lancaster, PA

"I want to thank you for the extraordinary guidance that your projections provide.  My past fantasy baseball season ended with my third championship in my keeper league's fifth year of existence... Thank you for your service.  It is my league's greatest secret."  LNC, New York, NY.

"I have more confidence in your site than any other two sources combined."  BGS, East Bethel, Minnesota

"I have been playing in a serious fantasy baseball league for over 10 years and have never come across a forecaster with such accuracy as David Luciani.  My only fear is that Baseball Notebook will continue to grow and everyone will have your forecasts."  MS, Louisville, Kentucky

"Overall I have been ecstatically pleased with your service.  The comma delimited files allow me to add my own formulas and thereby tinker with your projections and create my own dollar values.  The end result is I will win my  league this year.  Thanks!"  TAF, Coconut Creek, Florida

"Third year in a row of using your forecasts, I have finished 1st, 3rd and 1st... Excellent mid season forecasts to use for trading."  Rob Pachan, Buffalo, NY

"Thanks to you folks, I learned (before the 2002 season) that the best Japanese player, Hideki Matsui, had one year to go on his contract and was thought to challenge himself with the American game.  I drafted him as a $5 reserve (before 2002)."  JH, Niles, Michigan

"Baseball notebook gives me the edge. The projections consistently help me find the "gems" that others miss." KT, Atlanta, Georgia

"As a fantasy baseball owner who is always looking for an edge, I have and will continue to depend on BN's alternative insight.  Anybody can react to the stats that have just happened.  Dave L's insight focuses around the stats that are most likely to happen."  JC, Buffalo, New York

"One of the top sources on the Internet for fantasy league information."  BJP, Exton, Pennsylvania

"Baseball Notebook saves me money. First, Baseball Notebook has helped me win or place in the money fairly consistently against real tough competition. Second, it is a good check on potential trades and waiver wire pickups during the season. Third, and probably most importantly, Baseball Notebook is a superb tool for the pre-season draft." Steve Shores, Orange, CA

"...the service is very detailed and well worth the price.  By using it and other sources I have won many 'pennants'."  Brian Hunt, Kenora, Ontario, Canada

"I do not play in a fantasy baseball league, but I play in a computer simulation league (Diamond Mind). This service has been invaluable in evaluating talent for trades and rookie draft selections. Even though we know how a player will perform in our league, the predictions for the following season are extremely valuable." LeRoy Gorham, Centerville, OH

"Are you kidding me?  I was one of those fans who quit following baseball after "The Strike."  But my 4-year-old's passion for the game dragged me back to the ball park.  As an avid fantasy football and hockey player, I was easily pushed into FBB.  But I was so ignorant about current baseball I did not even know that Milwaukee was in the NL.  Clearly, I needed a lot of help.  Moreover, I was a complete stranger to Rotisserie Baseball.  Well, your projections and articles have put me into 3rd place for the season.  And I could have been in 2nd if I had not made some rookie FBB managerial mistakes.  I can't recommend the site enough to people.  Just not the other owners in my league."  WO, Los Angeles, California

"I believe a main reason I have been in first place most of the year is because I have used your rankings for drafting and throughout the year."  HHM, Hartford, Connecticut

"I'm a rookie owner in a very competitive league, and I've used your projections to strategize both my draft and my trading strategy.  I give you a lot of the credit for my being in the hunt all year."  CM, Arlington, Virginia

"I have had success with picking up players that I knew nothing about until I read about them in your articles.  It has made the difference for turning into a contending team when I was not."  DT, North Hills, CA

"...You are the ONLY fee service I will use.  Thanks for all your quality work."  JC, Scottsdale, Arizona

"This is BY FAR the best site I have found!"  WTL, Montreal, Quebec, Canada

"The customer service is absolutely lights out.  If you have a question or concern, you get listened to." M.A., Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

"Another year with Baseball Notebook (5 years total now I think) and once again I'm at the top of a very competitive league.  In fact, as usual, the only mistakes I've made this season have been going against BN and trusting my gut.  When will I learn?" DB, Chicago, IL

"This year with one month left to play, I am in 1st place in all three of my leagues.  I could not have done it without you guys.  You're the best!" DAB, Morton Grove, Illinois

"3rd year using the notebook - 2nd , 2nd and 1st out of 16 teams." Dennis Wiese, Goshen, IN

"Baseball Notebook is the standard in fantasy baseball-related websites - a standard that nobody else comes close to." Rex Stults, Nape CA

"With BN, it's nice to know that I have the best forecasts available and I can focus primarily on roster management and strategy." BJ, Bettendorf, Iowa

"I love the Notebook.  I have finished in the top two or better four of five years that I have used it." DW, Goshen, Indiana

"I've been subscribing to Baseball Notebook since 2003.  It gets better every year!" JT, Pittsburgh, PA

"I attribute the 2010, 2008, 2007 and 2003 (with some help from Javy Lopez) MLB.com Fantasy 411 Invitation League Championships and a 2009 NFBC Main Event 15T League Championship to Baseball Notebook's forecasts along with their excellent advice & logic. Since joining Baseball Notebook in 2003, 18 outcomes in 4 main leagues; NL Only Auction, 12T Mixed Roto, 12T Mixed H2H, & 15T NFBC Main = placed first 11 times, 1x second, 3x third, 1x fifth & 2x sixth." Zack S., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

"I enjoyed tremendously the forecasts from you, David.  They helped me immensely when drafting, and when looking to the free agent market when certain players got injured... I was able to quickly analyze and select a quality replacement.  The pitching predictions were mostly dead on as far as the categories in my two leagues, so thanks for the insight and again, I'll be back next season!!!" SVW, Springfield, Ohio

"I've used this service for three years and I've finished 1st two out of the three years!  The only reason I lost that one year was because of injuries."  MG, Providence, Rhode Island

"Have used your player projections for three years and has always been a big plus in drafting and waiver wire pick-ups!" GS, Brussels, Belgium

"The smartest, most through forecasting out there.  My biggest fear is that the guys I play against start using you.  I'm on the verge of winning my first league and I owe it to Baseball Notebook.  Thanks!"  JP, Seattle, Washington

"I play high stakes rotisserie and I have used more tips/pointers from your essays then (probably) all other tips combined from other sources. Logic prevails! This is the first year I used your pay services (forecasts) and there were 3 or 4 players who were rated higher by you that other services had much lower...and these players did very well." James P. McManus, London/Toronto, Ontario, Canada

"Baseball Notebook's commitment to customer satisfaction is unparalleled in the fantasy sports industry."  Matt Armstrong, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

"I used BN to finish in first place in 2007!  ... Because of their constant reevaluation of projections you can be sure to get a better handle on players al season long!" Tom Vaclavek, Woodstock, IL 

"The interactive projection tool is among the best available.  I've been a subscriber for about four years and remain convinced that there is nothing better."  S. Harmon, Houston, TX

"I have won the fantasy league I have participated in 3 out of the last 4 years (I was 2nd in the other one).  The projections really help me put together a dominant draft strategy and the in-season projection updates keep me ahead of the game.  Keep up the good work." DL, Phillipines

"Nobody else is braver--or more accurate--with their breakout predictions." DV, Redmond, VA

"The ability to analyze trades using this site is very helpful.  What many owners do is evaluate trades based on what a player has done when all you really should care about is what a player will do.  Baseball Notebook provides that future visibility (in) a clear and concise way that offers an advantage many owners do not have." Michael G. Clayman, Sharon, MA

"It's my 2nd year of subscribing to BN and I have wrapped up my league's championship for the first time."  KB, Trevorton, Pennsylvania

"I spent 2002 lurking around the Baseball Notebook site checking out the 'Ask David' sections and trying to get some FREE info.  Luckily I got enough information that I was able to parlay that into a 3rd place finish in my Fantasy Baseball league.  (In 2003), I paid for the service, read all the strategy articles, dove headfirst into the projections and made numerous pre-season trades...  I'm about to win 1st place in a league that has been dominated by 2 players for the past 8 years.  I also took a 2nd team in another keeper league (which was an expansion franchise and had no good keepers) and I'm currently fighting for 3rd place thanks to great projections.  Thanks so much!"  CR, Horhsham, Pennsylvania

"David's prospect analysis is the best I have ever found.  I play in a very deep league and he uncovers guys who most have never head of who have shown to be top flight prospects."  Stephen Raymond, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

"Far and away the most necessary fantasy site available.  Makes other sites seem like you're reading from the caveman's wall."  RB, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

"3 weeks left in the season, winning in my 5x5 league." PK, St. Louis, Missouri

"BN never disappoints and always gives me a leg up on other fantasy teams who use the many inferior stat services out there."  BJ, Alexandria, VA

"This site has kept me in the money every year I've subscribed.  Every time I've gone with my gut (and against the site), I've regretted it."  DC, Los Angeles, California

"What is best about BN is that it's not for the fantasy baseball herd.  You get stuff here that I haven't seen anywhere else: rational projections that don't follow rookie or spring training hype and help you identify underappreciated value players..." CG, Bowie, MD

"Subscribing to your service was a great decision.  Your player projections and dollar values for my draft day were excellent.  I am currently in first place.  I was EXTREMELY reluctant and tentative about using your draft strategy... My team is not made up with a bunch of superstars (like you said would happen), but a team of average and extremely consistent players... Thanks again for all your help!  I don't think I could have drafted my first place team without the help of Baseball Notebook."  BR, Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey

"I've played Rotisserie since 1986 in some high profile, high dollar leagues.  I subscribed to your service a couple years ago, but didn't trust many of your projections and did poorly that season.  This year I 'bought in' 100% to the essays and projections and have had a very successful and most enjoyable season ever." ST (no city or state provided)

"I used this website for the first time this baseball season and I am going to finish in the top four for only the second time in my 8 years of playing fantasy baseball. I love the mathematics of the site..." Bob Van Rens, De Pere, Wisconsin

"Player forecasts are of great quality and the explanation of the forecasts are excellent."  ME, North Bethesda, Maryland

"I've been in a 14 team competitive 4x4 league for nine years.  Years one through seven I always had good teams - enough to finish in the top 5 every year, but could never get over the top.  In 2002, I started using Baseball Notebook projections to aid me in my draft.  I won my league in 2002 by a landslide and am currently in 1st place by 2 points (this season).  I am a guaranteed lifetime subscriber to the Baseball Notebook."  MR, Chicago, Illinois

"Excellent help projecting not only my spring draft but also throughout the year for weekly transactions.  Nice job."  GPF, Boston, Mass.

"Very useful to help decide who's overrated or underrated - both for drafting and trading."  BD, New York

"Moneyball?  The next general manager prospect should be David Luciani.  He certainly knows more than most of the GM's out there."  AR, Los Angeles, California

"This is the best projection site bar none!  Keep it secret.  Especially from the other owners in your league."  RS, Fairfiew, Pennsylvania

"The best auction values in the business."  DH, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

"I have been using your service for three years, and have found it to be a valuable tool.  My greatest benefit has come from your Fantasy Domination draft forecasts, but I have also used your service to identify prospects during the course of the season, or to make injury replacements that will actually HELP my team.  Many thanks for the hard work!"  SD, Berkeley, California

"My teams are always near or at the top of the standings thanks to this site." Brian C., Providence, Rhode Island

"Played in 4 leagues this year, will finish 3rd or better in each." MT, New York, NY

"... we won by 25 points in a 12 team 5x5 league!  As returning champs, we are currently 22.5 points up and the league expanded to 14 teams!  You rock BN!"  BL, Saddle Brook, New Jersey

"Fantastic customer service!  Baseball Notebook has always given me a prompt response to any questions about billing, technical concerns, etc." Ray S., Stony Brook, NY

"I am considered a Guru in my leagues because of the info I receive at Baseball Notebook." JCL, Las Vegas, Nevada

"I've had outstanding success for the six years I've subscribed.  I've won each of my keeper leagues several times and my worst finish in my primary keeper (league) was 4th.  Don't read a typical 4th into it though as I finished just 4.5 roto points from 1st that season and led into the final weekend.  BNB is especially helpful in that it provides projections earlier than others and updates frequently.  A real boon to guys like me who build tweak their teams throughout the winter trade periods." DM, Marquette, Michigan

"I am amazed at the accuracy in projections for minor league players, and especially how once-unknown players (to me) pop up on the radar soon after I learn about them at Baseball Notebook.  Great job.  Keep it up."  R.A. Michal, La Grange Park, Ill.

"The most accurate projections on the Internet."  CC, Raleigh, North Carolina

"A valuable additional tool in making fantasy decisions."  RA, Stanford, Connecticut

"Great service - will finish 1st this season in a keeper league after finishing 2nd last year - thanks to the Baseball Notebook.  This is the only service I use and it gives me everything that I need."  BP, Houston, Texas

"In my 23rd year in my league, once again, I have been fortunate to be in first place... The difference this year (2009) was the 'one-off' projections of Hill, Branyan, Choo, etc., that allowed me to create a winning team..." WFG, Westport, Connecticut

"As far as I can tell, BN is is the only site that takes an objective approach to projections. Compared to other fantasy baseball sites, BN is consistently more accurate and less influenced by popular opinion. After 10 plus years in fantasy baseball I have come to rely on BN projections as my primary source of pre-season and post-season information, and I've never finished out of the money since I started using BN projections. In a very competitive league it's the single factor that sets me apart from other owners in terms of year to year consistent results." WS, Frederick, MD

"This is the premier site for player forecasting..." MB, Portland, Maine

"I feel like I'm the only one in the league that knows anything about baseball now that I have BBN."  BL, Dallas, Texas

"Since moving to BN exclusively as my forecaster of choice, my finishes have been first (2008), tied for second (2007), tied for first (2006), seventh (2005), and first (2004)." LN, Montreal, Quebec

"I have used the service the last 2 seasons and they have been my first 'in the money' finishes since 1998.  I have been able to steer clear of the injury prone players since you usually discount their stats for less playing time."  JC, Norwalk, Connectictut

"...Baseball Notebook is far and away the best resource for the fantasy baseball player.  It is not just that their predictions are usually accurate, but they are also not afraid to go out on a limb and make a somewhat bold prediction that you won't see anywhere else... I have been playing fantasy baseball for only 2 years, but with their help, I have finished at or near the top in all of my fantasy leagues.  With the money I have earned in my leagues, the site more than pays for itself."  DD, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

"I really enjoy a service that goes out on a limb to project big numbers from otherwise average players... Keep it up fellas."  CR, LaCrosse, Wisconsin

"Very useful site all season long."  OGA, New York, New York

"This year, I played in two ultra-competitive fantasy leagues.  Using the forecasts provided as a baseline, I was able to win both leagues in a runaway (over 30 points in both leagues)."  MP, Orlando, Florida

"Thanks to this page, I took a pre-draft team that was expected to finish in the bottom of a 12 team league, and will finish in the money.  The best part is, people look at my team and still can't understand how I'm doing it.  It's all thanks to the forecasts of the "little known" players."  BP, Mississippi

"If you're looking for projected baseball stats and take the time to compare all the various services based on the quality of quantitative analysis, qualitative analysis and price, you'll find no better value than BBN.  Period."  PS, Pittsfield, Massachusetts

"I won by 20 points using your site regularly."  JD, Nantucket, Massachusetts

"Your service has CONSIDERABLY INCREASED THE SUCCESS of my fantasy team!  THANK YOU!"  JR, Chicago, Illinois

"Without a doubt, the best service I have encountered.  This is my first year with it, though I have been playing Rotisserie since 1991 and am very pleased.  I, too, am a stat freak and this one of the only places that matches up to my high standards for cogent, thoughtful, and creative applications of all the numbers out there."  RY, Boston, Massachusetts

"I won my hardcore 16 team, 38 man roster, unlimited keeper league this year.  I attribute my success to sites like this - you aren't afraid to (go) against popular or conventional viewpoints on players - that's valuable to me.  This is the one site I haven't 'shared' with my fellow owners."  TC, Cincinnati, Ohio

"I won my fantasy league relying on Baseball Notebook's projections!  It does not just help you on draft day, it helps throughout the season."  PK, Columbia, Illinois

"Baseball Notebook was my most consistent source of fantasy baseball help this season."  AF, Pocono Lake, Pennsylvania

"Simply put, I followed your forecasts and money management strategies at our bid auction and won the league this year!"  JFB, Fairview Park, Ohio

"Of the major steps that I take during my pre-draft analysis, the most crucial one is being able to start with both a reliable set of predicted performance as well as customized values. Your site succeeds brilliantly in delivering a high quality projection set that serves as the basis for my analysis. Thank you for putting so much time and effort into your product . . . it shows!" Sam Rowe, Berkeley, CA

"My first year using Baseball Notebook I finished first by double digits with 108 points in my 5x5 league, all based on strategies and projections I got right here!"  PSI, Washington State

"I combined your stats with my strategy to run away with my league title this year!"  SD, Columbus, Ohio

"I won it all even when I ran out of moves for the last 6 weeks of the year."  PV, Esperance, New York

"As a long-time subscriber to this site, I've continually had success with Baseball Notebook's numbers, and keep coming back year after year.  2009?  Best year ever." RB, San Jose, CA

"Since '04 in 10 leagues I've got five 1st, two 2nd, one 3rd, two 4ths. Not too shabby." DGL, Arlington Heights, IL

"Baseball Notebook definitely helped me on draft day as well as evaluating trades."  GO, Point Claire, Quebec, Canada

"I wanted to thank you for leading me to 1st place in only my second season of Fantasy Baseball (the prior year - without Baseball Notebook - I finished in the lower half)."  LF, Long Island, New York

"Best pre-season projections bar none."  SJB, Paducah, Kentucky

"Great site with lots of highly informative and useful information."  KF, Milford, Mass.

"I've always been pretty good at fantasy baseball, but since I joined Baseball Notebook, I have been a powerhouse. I finished first in the regular season in both of my H2H leagues last year, but tanked in the playoffs. This year I finished 2nd and 3rd respectively, and I am in the championship matchup in both leagues. I highly recommend Baseball notebook to any fantasy baseball player wanting to get that extra edge." Matt Dubin, Seattle, Washington

"I won my league in most part by paying careful attention to player updates which I find your site addresses well.  I also like the articles on minor league players since we draft minor leaguers in a keeper league."  CDM, West Greenwhich, Rhode Island

"I used to read testimonials from fantasy managers who claimed to have won their competitive leagues three or four years in a row and say, "Yeah right."  I also used to scoff at managers who paid for their information.  Well, I am one of them now.  Baseball is my passion and I take great pride in my own ability to project player statistics, yet I experienced even greater success after blending some of David Luciani's projections with my own.  The man is a wizard."  EB, Richland, Washington

"Just had to drop you a note to thank you for all the help.  Won the league championship this year and could not have done it without your help." BD, Washington, DC

"Using your service allowed me to run away from the other teams in my 20 year old NL-only league this year!" Chris Williams, Ankeny, IA

"DL and Baseball Notebook [are] the main reason I continue to place in the top of all my Fantasy Baseball leagues. I have won my most competitive league 3 out of the last 4 seasons. Keep up the great work." Rob Guilmette, Rochester, NH

"My friend and I joined a 12-team NL only 5 x5 league four years ago. My team was in last place, had no keepers and terrible contracts and my friends was just as bad. I've been building year after year and with the projections on BN I will finish in 3rd this year and set up for a run at the title next year, while my friend has wiped the floor with the league and will finish with over 100 points and a 10 point lead. Our league thinks we are cheating somehow when in fact the custom ranking sheets help so much with the draft and the stat projections have allowed me to pick up the right free agents throughout the year to keep us one step ahead of everyone in our league." Joey Cerulle,  Long Beach, CA

"I've won my league every year I've used (BN) except the year I got married!  It's a big competitive edge!"  FE, Madison, Wisconsin

"Baseball Notebook is the single best comprehensive source for pre-draft information.  I check it as I am entering the draft room."  WFG, Wassenaar, The Netherlands

"This site has done a wonderful job of preparing me for my draft... My team dominated!"  JG, Menlo Park, California

"I have subscribed to Baseball Notebook for over five years...  With their projections, my preseason drafting has resulted in a championship and (3) 2nd place finishes.  Typically, injuries are the overriding factor in where I finish, not projection error.."  Kim Kafura, Appleton, WI

"I've been subscribing to Baseball Notebook for three seasons now and words cannot explain the difference it's made in my fantasy baseball performance. I've gone from being a middle-of-the-pack owner to a two-time league champion virtually overnight. And research has become more efficient now since I don't waste my time with multiple publications. It's a miracle solution that allows me to spend less time doing fantasy baseball while actually performing better." Josh Wilson, Washington, DC

"Won my league for the first time.  What more is there to say!"  RR, Stony Brook, New York

"Thank you for helping me win my fantasy league last year.  I am in a 17 year old league for which I joined only 3 years ago and I am the only new member the league has ever had.  All the guys are shaking their heads that I was able to rise to the top so quickly and I give your projections credit for my success.  Thank you."  RB, Philadelphia, PA.

"I have been playing fantasy baseball for 6 years, but I am in a league entering its 22nd year. I am the only new member the league has ever had. I have been using this service for 5 years and I have finished first in 3 of those 5 years. I knew nothing about baseball when I started. Your service has taught me how to win. There are guys in my league who have never won this league and they want to know how I am doing it - It is really you! Thanks!" Rick Boleto, Media, PA

"With the help of BBN, I won my fantasy league with the highest point total and widest margin of victory in the 12-year history of the league.  BBN is absolutely essential as it provides the backbone for all my draft preparations."  PS, Pittsfield, Mass.

"Love the mailbox, can't get enough.  Love the weekly projections.  I have used this info for a few years, to win at least once a year." Joseph Trimper, Buffalo, New York

"If you can only afford one service, this is the one!" Dr. Bill Costello, Dresden, Maine (Professor, SFSU, 1972-2000)

"I've won my league in 4 of the last 5 years (3 straight) exclusively using BaseballNotebook.com.  Now, I'm either a fantasy genius, in a weak league or owe it all to BaseballNotebook.com.  Genius?  No.  Weak league?  With a buy-in of $250, doubtful.  THANK YOU BASEBALLNOTEBOOK.COM!"  James Siple, Glendale Heights, Illinois

"I just completed my fourth year in a highly competitive 12 team league.  I've never missed the playoffs and just won my second league title!  Well worth the price of membership!" Marty McKelvey, Lewiston, Pennsylvania

For the second consecutive season each of my four fantasy teams made the playoffs."  Randy King, Fairfield, Ohio

"Much as Billy Beane did with the A's (as described in "Moneyball") the research and projections by Baseball Notebook have helped me identify the undervalued players in my fantasy leagues, leading to my enjoying the two most successful seasons - the two most recent seasons - in over 20 years of fantasy play." Marc Bowman, Kansas City, Missouri
