Tools to help manage your team: Benchcoach

Are you looking for a way to figure out how well you're doing? Do you want a way to evaluate a trade someone else has proposed to you? Well, Benchcoach is a tool which will analyze your team and provide you with some recommendations. The owners of the site have pioneered a new technology called "Fangelica" which does the back end heavy lifting to calculate what moves would be best for you to make.

ARLINGTON, TX - JUNE 27:  Second baseman Ian K...Like any system, it is imperfect, but if you are looking for a way to easily manage your team or evaluate trades, this is a great tool. For example, they recommended I trade Hiroki Kuroda to Lyndsey for Ian Kinsler. I asked Lyndsey if she would go for that. Not surprisingly, she turned me down. However, they also recommended I trade Heath Bell for James Loney. That did sound reasonable to Lyndsey, although I don't need a 1B. So, if you use it, don't check your brain at the virtual door.
