Draft Analyzer is one of my favorite tools for the fantasy baseball season and it is back for the 2010 fantasy baseball season. Just like it did for the football season, Draft Analyzer is now fully accessible through the web (in the past, it was an application that you had to download).

Since I like to consider myself a numbers guy and what I have always been particularly fond of with Draft Analyzer is how simple it makes the whole drafting process. I tell it all about my league’s scoring, roster requirements, how many teams, draft style, how much risk I would like to assume, and it cranks out pick after pick recommendation. It helps you find the best value that is available at every pick. This becomes particularly useful in leagues where you are drafting deep, and often have to take players you rather not (and in some cases, never even heard of).

Draft Analyzer has two pricing options. You can get it for $29.95 with either Fanball’s or Accuscore’s projections. Or, for $44.95, you can get it with both sets of projections, which helps get a much more well-rounded sound of projections.

Clearly, I am a big fan of the software (I gladly purchase it for myself each year), and it is something that I think you might like too.

Just when they thought they were done with Draft Analyzer, it draws them back in! Draft Analyzer just announced the private beta launch of its Lineup Analyzer for fantasy players. Fantasy football players can use the Lineup Analyzer to determine on who to start on a week-to-week basis.

This is a big move for Draft Analyzer. Historically, Draft Analyzer has only been used by fantasy players during the preseason, and then has stepped aside. Now, Draft Analyzer is looking to sell a new product to existing consumer base of fantasy fanatics. I would not be surprised to see Lineup Analyzer as an add-on product to purchasers of the Draft Analyzer for the 2010 fantasy football season. Lineup Analyzer goes into direct competition of Fantasy Football Starters and a number of other weekly prediction tools.

How well does it work? Pretty well. The tool loaded my roster from Draft Analyzer, and then I was able to adjust it for moves I have made since the draft. I looked at the dashboard and noticed a very strong matchup for Leon Washington of which I was not aware. As a result, Washington is now in my lineup. Easy and simple to understand. I like.

Currently, Lineup Analyzer is available only to Draft Analyzer customers. If you are not a Draft Analyzer customer, you can still buy one at a reduced rate of $19.95, which will also instantly get you access to the Lineup Analyzer.
