HEATER Magazine

John Burnson has been writing about fantasy baseball since 1999 and this will be the fourth year he has published HEATER. HEATER features three sections: 30 team pages (one for each MLB team), 17 hitter pages (one for each position and league), and 8 pitcher pages (two for each position—starter or reliever—and league). This approach lets us show players in different contexts.

The wealth of data is buttressed by two pages of fantasy baseball coverage, a page of Hot Hands, a page of year-to-date minor-league stats and commentary for top prospects, and more! It's like a Draft Package every week of the season! You can read more about HEATER here.

HEATER is available on the THT site for an annual subscription of $39. For that price, you'll receive:

• HEATER every Tuesday
• A 30-page Saturday supplement
• Free daily emailing of The Rundown, the box-score lovers' dream, and
• Weekly updates to Wheelhouse, a webless web for baseball stats

Batted Ball Reports and the 2010 Hardball Times Annual

THT is also offering a new subscription download: the Batted Ball Report. The Batted Ball Report will be a weekly essay by THT's Dave Studeman, focusing on THT's unique batted ball information to diagnose batters, pitchers and just generally have fun with baseball stats.

What's more, each Batted Ball subscriber will also receive the Hardball Times Annual 2010 when it ships in November. This is a $21.95 value (not including shipping) and ensures that you will receive the Annual as soon as it's available. Read more about this unique offer here.

The Batted Ball Report/2010 THT Annual is available on the THT site for an annual subscription of $34 for residents of USA. Canadian residents will be charged $39 (due to shipping costs, this deal isn't available to residents of other countries). For that price, you'll receive:

• A weekly 2,000 to 3,000 word essay from Dave on the latest batted ball trends.
• A download of all batted ball stats for all players on a regular basis
• Free daily emailing of The Rundown, the box-score lovers' dream
• And, of course, the 2010 Hardball Times Annual.

Subscribers to either service will also be eligible to sign up for Bill James' Daily Matchups e-mail service.

You can purchase both download subscriptions for just $59.
