Website Report: Introducing benchcoach.com

Benchcoach.com is a new fantasy baseball site which combines an innovative user interface with high performance data-mining and analytics to allow fantasy team managers to visualize and interact with their entire league in a completely new, holistic way. From doing player research to customizing player projections to running scenarios, benchcoach.com provides an integrated environment where everything is tailored to help you make the best decisions for your team.

"I used to spend a couple of hours a week loading my team stats and the league standings into Excel to get a feel of where my team stood and my prospects of making up ground.", says Sang Park, co-founder of Benchcoach, "Now I do that in seconds with Benchcoach allowing me to try out dozens of scenarios daily to assess the state of my team."

With over 80 scoring stats and a scoring engine that supports points, rotisserie, and head to head leagues and their many variations, benchcoach can be tailored specifically to the rules of your league. Easy integration with Yahoo and ESPN Fantasy Baseball makes configuring the league and keeping the roster and scoring information up-to-date a simple, two-click process.

There's more to a league than just one team. The value of scenarios and predictions isn't based on a single roster, but every roster in the league. "Whenever I got a trade offer, I would have to work out the expected benefits and costs to my team relative to the league on paper," continues Park. "These estimates were very rough and didn't take into consideration the effect of the trade on other teams in the league. I finished 4th last year."

Why chase power if the potential gain isn't likely to result in any points? Using a simple drag and drop interface, Benchcoach makes it quick and easy to explore the effect of various line-up configurations, cross team trades and free agent-pickups. Scenarios aren't limited to a specific team: running the numbers on two-way, three-way, four-way or more trades is as simple as dragging a player from one team to another. Feedback is immediate and visual, the net and net-net effects are shown: you may have gained HR, but unless you overtook the leader that doesn't translate into any point gain. And that's what you need to win.

Benchcoach.com is free through May 16th, 2008 and will cost $10/season for 1 league, $20/season for 3 leagues, and $40/season for unlimited leagues.
