DraftDude.com, a fantasy sports service provider, has introduced its 2010 Free Fantasy Baseball software and service, including free fantasy baseball player rankings and projections.

According to company officials, this all-inclusive service helps all users—novices and experienced players alike—to make expert-level drafting, playing, and trading decisions with little to no effort.

In a release company officials said that combining Moneyball-level mathematics and sophisticated analytics behind an iTunes-simple interface, DraftDude.com enables fantasy sports players to effortlessly improve their performance.

“Succeeding in fantasy baseball, unfortunately, comes down to math,” said Gilbert Greenway, founder of DraftDude.com.

“Think about what the typical fantasy baseball expert does to win: spends countless hours conducting mock drafts, combing through statistics, creating spreadsheets, and more. It’s ridiculously time-consuming! That’s why we created DraftDude.com; baseball users can skip all of that work - for free!,” said Greenway.

For typical fantasy sports players, using DraftDude.com is like bringing in a “ringer.” It provides users with an “unfair advantage” by automatically calculating, which players to draft and in what order, even suggesting weekly play/bench direction.

For more advanced players, DraftDude.com offers robust customization and interactivity, allowing users to combine experience and skill with the program’s advanced algorithms and tools, eliminating the need for spreadsheets.

DraftDude.com offers an all-inclusive service using programs based on over ten years of research conducted by quantitative analysts and professional programmers, and is extremely easy to use.

Greenway says, “Why not play like an expert, especially when it’s free, fast, and takes almost no effort at all?”
