For League Commissioners...

If you're an experienced fantasy league commissioner, you're probably itching to use PC software to run your fantasy league because you've discovered that the major stat services are extremely expensive and don't provide the wide variety of customized stat reports that you want. You've also found out that web-based stat services are extremely slow, have poorly designed screens, often contain annoying ads and pop-ups, and simply can't match PC software in advanced reporting features (multi-column sorting, data filtering, advanced searches, split-scrolling, the ability to drag data columns exactly where you want them, etc.). And perhaps even more important than all of that, you know that timely, helpful tech support is virtually non-existent for web-based stat services. 

With Rhino Baseball, you get fast, powerful, database software that creates tons of full-color reports that you can search, sort, filter, and analyze in a variety of ways. You never have to worry about getting booted off the internet or your league's web site being unavailable. If you need technical support, you get a timely response from the person who developed the software. And most important of all, you get Rhino Baseball at a fraction of the cost of an expensive stats service that you would have to pay for over and over again every baseball season. Heck, you can even use Rhino Baseball to run multiple leagues for one fixed price. Try doing that with a major stats service!  

For Fantasy Team GM's... 

As a fantasy team GM, you need an edge over your competition. Let's face it, using free player information from mainstream sports web sites just isn't going to give you the advantage that you need to beat your league-mates. Everyone has access to that info, so it doesn't give you any special edge. And guess what? The info that you get from those major web sites isn't 100% applicable to your fantasy league's scoring categories, rosters, salary structure, and pre-draft freeze lists. Most of the stat projections posted there are outdated, only cover 8-10 basic stat categories, and only include a small subset of all major league players. And by the way, those are somebody else's projections. You can't tinker with them to account for your own predictions on expected playing time and player roles, or even account for recent injuries or players being traded to new major league teams. 

So what's going to give you the edge you need to win? You need a tool that can produce useful customized projections, dollar values, and fantasy point rankings that apply to your league's particular context. Rhino Baseball does just that. It even goes a step beyond other draft prep software and helps you use those dollar values to create draft budgets for your team, and to view the projected stats of the winning team you hope to draft. You can create multiple draft plans and analyze them to determine which draft plan best meets the statistical goals required to win your league. There isn't another fantasy baseball program on the market that provides anything close to that capability. 

And new for 2005, Rhino Baseball now includes live draft tracking features that let you track players taken, money spent, draft-inflated dollar values, and team rosters during your live rotisserie auction or straight draft. Imagine not having to shuffle through papers and furiously crunch numbers on your calculator. With the Rhino Baseball database and software loaded onto your laptop, you've got vital draft data at your fingertips. Instantly view updated dollar values and optimal bids, projections and 3-year averages, expected playing time and draft comments, and a lot more for any player. Quickly see who's still available, how much money your opponents have left to spend, what their roster needs are, and how much value/profit they're accumulating. Perform fast lookups to find remaining players who best meet your draft needs. See how well your team is meeting its stat goals and adjust your primary draft plan on the fly. You'll gain a true edge on draft day with these powerful tracking tools. And you can even use them just for fun to run a mock draft if you'd like.                  

But Rhino Baseball doesn't stop there. Fantasy leagues don't end on draft day, so why should your draft software focus solely on the preseason? Rhino Baseball goes much further by providing an assortment of tools that help you evaluate players, stat trends, and trades during the entire regular season. Find out how players have performed over the last few weeks. See which players help you or hurt you the most in your current league standings. Determine which free agents you should pickup, and who you should try to deal and acquire in trades. Check out the trend graphs comparing the point scores of all teams in your fantasy league to see where you're headed and which opponents are making their move. Rhino Baseball gives you the tools to do all of that and more.       

Simply put, Rhino Baseball gives you the vital information needed to create an intelligent draft plan, improve your team during the season through smart trades and free agent pickups, and outwit the competition on your way to WINNING your league championship.  

It's Everything You Need 

When you sum it all up, there isn't another fantasy baseball program or stat service available that offers the comprehensive set of features that Rhino Baseball offers. From managing your leagues, to calculating customized player projections, to in-depth draft prep, to in-season player and team evaluation, to trade analysis, Rhino Baseball simply has it all. Why settle for something less that only meets some of your needs, when you can get powerful software that meets all of your needs

"Rhino Baseball is by far the most comprehensive fantasy management software package I've used. From functionality to usability, it's the best I've seen. I'd highly recommend it."
Bob Kohm, Co-Owner www.RotoJunkie.com

Peter Kreutzer, MLB.com -and- www.AskRotoman.com  

"I've been a Rhino Baseball user from the start, and this product is all you need to run your rotisserie or fantasy league. What's even better is the forecasting engine where you can create your own weighted averages and dollar values. Does your league make-up its own stats, or are you into sabermetrics? Well you can create and track them all here very easily."
Gary Klier, (AROC) American Roto League of Chicago

"Definitely one of the most extensive and easy-to-use draft prep & league management programs we've ever come across. We wish we could use Rhino Software for all four sports instead of just baseball."
David Gonos, www.FantasyRef.com

"This will be my 13th season of playing fantasy baseball, and my third using Rhino Baseball. I have found no other software system that allows the user to customize information to fit your league's specific rules as easily as Rhino Baseball. The player stat forecasting and dollar value projection tools, in conjunction with the Draft Assistant feature, give owners a huge edge in draft day preparation."
Geoff Kyper, York PA.

"Your program, and what my wife calls "Bryan Support" are incredible!! Thanks again for everything. I've been having a ball with the software. You've thought of everything!!!"
Bryan Spellman, Pittsford NY.

"Easily the most complex, yet most user-friendly Rotisserie software out there. The drag and drop feature almost makes putting the full rosters in at the start of the season fun! It's easy to track moves, correct errors, and run my league. They say you get what you pay for. In this case, you get more."
Jim Rinaldi, AccuRoto League

"Rhino Baseball is a terrific and easy to use software program that can be adapted to any league. We're a small and young league, yet I was able to adapt the program to fit our needs easily. It's chock full of features that will thrill all users. The best part of Rhino Baseball is the terrific support provided by the creator & owner of Rhino Software and his team."
Francis Chu, Statistician, MD Roto League

"Just letting you know that the baseball software arrived today. What a product! It is everything that you could ask for and more. I am so glad that you were able to get it shipped so fast, and the documentation & movies are wonderful." 
David Sues, Akron OH.

Nick Forlizzi, Staten Island Rotisserie League
