A variety of statistical tables and tools will be provided to assist you in your management of rosters for several games, including

Ball Park Dreams (produced by Echelon SPorts)

Following are descriptions of the various tools for each of the games. Links for each item are found in the baseball section of menu on the left. [Note: Some features will not be available until after the start of the regular season.]

Yesterday's Points: Sorted listings of the point output for every player for the prior day's games, including links to earlier days as well.

1999 SW Stats: Smallworld Points calculated for each player based on current season stats, and expressed relative to current prices and game exposure.

1999 BP Stats: Ball Park Points calculated for each player based on current season stats, and expressed relative to current prices and game exposure.

Preseason Stats: Prior to the start of the season, stats/price tables will be provided for each game using draft prices and points based on the prior season's stats

Assimilator: A JavaScript program to help you track a number of stats related to your personal roster(s) for either game. This program is one of the highlights of the RotoGuru sites.

RotoGuru Team Rankings: Although the covered games provide their own pages showing the worldwide leaders, you can submit your team id to have your team(s) listed here where they will be ranked against other RotoGurupies. Ranked categories include not only total points. But also roster values and other useful data which is available. This is the best place to see how your team shapes up vs. other serious managers who have access to the same RotoGuru stats and tools.

Schedules: Several schedule pages can help you keep tabs on the comparative scheduling of all 30 major league teams. Of particular note is the Sched-O-Matic, a JavaScript program which allows you to "slice and dice" the upcoming schedule over any specified range of dates.
