This poll will be open immediately and run until Sunday, September 6th, or until a majority is reached.
Please post below any arguments for or against either decision.
Reasons for ESPN:
- Its easy and familiar.
- Its already set up, and many teams have already joined.
- Quick click through to check player service time.
- Our arbitration scale currently depends on the ESPN player rater.
Reasons for Fantrax:
- Less familiar in general, but also easy.
- Much better player pool.
- Allows position eligibility requirements to be altered. (LF,CF.RF requirements might benefit from this)
- Allows a variety of other options such as counting batting stats for pitchers.

I think Fantrax does more of the dynasty leagues so it would make it easier for this league in the future. You can see all your prospects on your team and other teams all the way down to the 16 year olds.

Also, on one of my other leagues we are switching to Fantrax from Yahoo and I was first skeptic because I want the convenience of using the mobile app to do my daily lineups each day. But Fantrax has a good and easy to use mobile app.

For what it's worth, ESPN's mobile app now requires iOS 8, which has left my poor little phone outdated.
On the other hand, it's always good to support Mickey Mouse.

I voted Fantrax because for the past month or so I have been on it and it looks great.
I like the details it provides.

Having used both before , I'd vote ESPN. Just personal preference. Points about player pool are valid though

Honestly, I've never used Fantrax before. Is there anyway I could see a link to a league or team that is using them?

No experience with either so I'm hesitant to vote. Will check out fantrax on my own though to get some kind of feel for it.

I've been playing around with the settings for a couple days, but the 4 leagues have been created.
If someone wants an invitation, let me know and I can provide that. But it may also be better for people to investigate on their own. If too many people are unfamiliar with it, there's nothing wrong with ESPN either.

The player pool plus will win my vote for Fantrax. Though I've never
used it.

Never used either one so I don't want to sway the vote. My experience is with Yahoo and Ottoneu.

I like Fantrax cause it has more options and bigger roster.

Fantrax wins with a vote of 7 to 4 (accounting for the Orioles and Pirates votes.)
Over the next several days, invitations will be sent out for the appropriate Fantrax leagues. Please remember that any players added in Fantrax must be protected in the "Roster Transactions" thread and listed as receiving a salary on your team roster page. When a player is unprotected, he must also be dropped in Fantrax. (Just a personal observation, there may be reasons why its not worth the effort to continually be adding and removing prospects that are far away from the majors on the scoring site.)
The rulebook will also be altered to show Fantrax as our scoring site. The links underneath the header will be changed over. And a link will also be provided to the generic ESPN player rater, both in the rules and underneath the header.
14 out of the 18 current owners either voted or commented on this poll. Thank you for your participation.
