Fee dropped for Yahoo! StatTracker E-mail
Written by Bob Taylor

It looks like Yahoo! will no longer treat its StatTracker service as a fantasy add-on or charge fantasy players extra to use it. Today, I received this email from Yahoo! concerning a 2009 Yahoo! Plus fantasy football league that I had already registered, paying the usual $125 fee:

Dear Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Football customer:

This is a message to inform you that we are no longer charging a fee for StatTracker, our live scoring application for Fantasy Football. Our records indicate that you have already purchased a Plus League for the 2009 season.

Because of this change in programming, we are lowering the price of Plus Leagues to $29.95. As a courtesy, your account will be automatically refunded for the full amount of each league purchased at the original $124.99 price. You and your league's other managers may continue to access these Plus Leagues at no additional cost. There is no action required from you.  Please allow 3-4 weeks for the refund to be processed.

Sweet! Not only has the price of Plus leagues been slashed, but, if I'm reading that correctly, my football league's status as a Plus league will be completely free of cost this season. One would presume that this will carry over into the 2010 fantasy baseball season, and that StatTracker -- which updates fantasy stats and league standings in real time -- will be free for all from here on out. No doubt, Yahoo!'s hand was somewhat forced by ESPN's increasingly robust no-charge fantasy service.

Awesome, I'm digging this news. I remember years back you could buy StatTracker once and it'd last all year through football, basketball, hockey, and baseball. These past two years you had to buy it for every sport.

Speaking of football, I mentioned in the league board we should start a league. It was met with mild enthusiasm... But yeah, you should start it up Bob. The Hurler league is a real competitive bunch.

Fantasy football is to fantasy baseball as checkers is to chess.

Love 'em both, though.

Football's my offseason, and I like to stick to just one league with close friends. But if you can get enough Hurler leaguers together for football, by all means do it!

Fantasy baseball is 80% skill; 20% luck.

I don't play fantasy football, o,r in fact, follow that sport at all.

Being that I from Los Angeles, and the NFL does not have a franchise in my city, I do not feel the need to follow that sport. How can a sport call itself major league and not have a team in the second largest media market. I don't get it.

Also, I clearly do not spell or grammar check my posts. Sorry about the above, but the intention was clear, I hope.

Does this apply to Fantasy Baseball as well for the 2009 Season?

We don't know yet. But I'd bet that if StatTracker is free for football, it's gonna be free for baseball, too.
