    Default CBS vs ESPN vs FANTRAX

    Who do you use? Who do you prefer? Why?

    I'm a fantrax guy myself. Before they were around I was mostly ESPN but left them a few years ago and haven't looked back. Fantrax just seems better in terms of updates, position eligibility and especially responding to questions/complaints via email.

    Would a mod or admin be able to fix the title and poll to include Yahoo!?
    I forgot about them.

    Been in a Yahoo! Keeper League for the past 8 years. This is the first year we've switched over to Fantrax. So far everything seems top notch. Only a couple of complaints I have, and it's nothing related to the league set-up, is the appearance of their website (it reminds me of a solid Geocities site I set up in high school), and their APP. Both could use some work and some TLC in my opinion. That said though the actual options they have for the league I'm in are incredible, and way better than what we had in Yahoo!

    I know this topic has been discussed a few times around here.

    If your league incorporates a minors system, then Fantrax is the way to go.

    If it's just a one year league, then I don't think it matters near as much.

    I have never used CBS so I can't speak on them.

    For Keepers with a minor system. Fantrax all the way. I refuse to join any other leagues.

    I use CBS. Never used any other site so I can't compare.
    Works fine for what we need.
    They didn't update positions this year though, which sucks.

    Fantrax is the only good site for serious Keeper Leagues, everything else is a joke compared to it right now.

    Yahoo/Fantrax lead the way, pretty even.

    fantrax - main reason is they list all prospects and of course the farm team flexibility.

    chat box on main page is nice too when talking trade or shooting the breeze in general with fellow gm's .

    more modern interface would probably attract more users though

    Fantrax. The app is absolutely brutal though, they really need to up their game there.
