Some thoughts on FantasyPros911.com

A couple of weeks ago, Patrick announced that the Fantasy Baseball Generals would no longer be updated, and that on January 1st the writers would begin working under the auspices of FantasyPros911.

First, let me say that I really enjoyed the work that was done at Fantasy Baseball Generals. Having a pool of ten or so writers was a great way to build discussion and present unique viewpoints.

Taking a glance at FantasyPros911, it looks like the old-FBG commentary is now just one part of a whole host of features (prize leagues, premium content, etc). I realize it’s still early, but I honestly didn’t see any new features that really jumped out at me. Right now at least, the writing looks like the main reason that I’ll keep coming, but we’ll see how things develop.

Also, I see that each column has its own RSS feed, but I probably won’t bother subscribing to feeds that are only updated once a week. Am I missing the RSS feed that includes all of the writers in one place (basically like the old FBG feed)?

    Thanks for the thoughts on the Generals site; it was a blast and it is actually a bit crazy when I see posts like yours that appreciated what we accomplished in a short time. believe me it is really appreciated!

    Most of the FBG guys like Brian Joura, Mike Podhorzer, Andrew Cleary and myself are writing for the Premium side of FantasyPros911.com. Paul Greco of melnickandgrecofantasysports.com was the Prime Mover in FP911, so the generals site was only a part of the new venture.

    We are going to have a feed that has all of the writers (i believe it is up already).

    It is bittersweet to say the least; TFBG was my pride and joy! but I really think FP911 will be better so i hope you give us the benefit of the doubt!

    Pat,

    I’ll definitely keep checking back on FP911 to see how it is coming; I was just sharing this as a first impression. It’s good to know that TFBG crew will also be working on the premium stuff (although I’ve never been the type to pay money for fantasy advice).

    Thanks for the comment. (You’re the first!)
