Fairly new to Baseball HQ joined mid season this past year. Is there a draft software that Baseball HQ recomends or is tied to? Does anyone have software that they recomend? Thanks in advance for any suggestions or help.

Rotolab is a separate company, not affiliated with BaseballHQ, but that's the draft software we recommend. It includes a method to download the BaseballHQ projections and we offer a discount for it (but I can't locate the link to that page right now). If I recall correctly, it's usually mid-January before Rotolab is ready for the upcoming season.

Rotolab is in securely in first place and all the rest tie for last place. And it ain't even close. Buy Rotolab and thank us later.
What's the rumpus?
I'm surprised that someone has not started the Annual "When is Rotolab available?" thread.

Still hoping for a Mac version of Rotolab. Sounded like it was getting close last spring. Have tried using Parallels on my Macbook but I'm just too dumb--and too old?--to really make it work.
I'd like to join the chorus "ROTOLAB" User Friendly, Reasonably Priced, and Customer Support is Steller !!
I know Merv is still working on the Mac version.
Not true, we went to Disney World last year, never checked email while we were gone! Yes, a little after mid-January, same as past years. The last several organizational reports are posted about a week before the release.
Does anyone have a sack that will fit over my avatar?
Agreed.. Rotolab is #1 by a mile and I'm always amazed at how quickly (and how patiently) Merv replies to my dumb questions.
I wished my wife shared your sentiments! ;-)
Merv, are you saying you aren't always patient replying to your wife's dumb questions?We're going to get you into more trouble.

When it comes to computers.....wow, like two kids in a sandbox. She can almost feel me trying to guide her mouse with my arm gestures. Not pretty......
Is Rotolab something you buy once, then feed the HQ data (or your own) into it every year or do you have to pay for Rotolab s/w every year?
It's an annual license. It's a small, niche market, no viable way to sell it once and rely on volume sales like you can with mass appeal programs. But I usually put a lot of effort into providing new features in each year and the developer (me) is available about 16/7 for questions if you get hung up.
Thanks for the kudos, Ray.
I am excited to see the new version today! (or soon)
I have not made any changes yet to the BHQ loaded data on Rotolab yet, but I am seeing differences in player values (5x5) on the Rotolab software versus what is on the BHQ site (same projections on both); in some cases very different.
A sample of AL pitchers seems to indicate a narrower range of values on Rotolab than the BHQ website; some examples are
Darvish $29, Uehara $22, Iwakuma $17, Arroyo $12, and Nolasco $9 on rotolab whereas we get
Darvish $32, Uehara $31, Iwakuma $21, Arroyo $7, and Nolasco $1 on BHQ website. (
A sample of AL hitters shows that they are usually with $1-3 different but then you find something like the following:
Will Myers is $22 on the software and $20 on BHQ website and then a similarly valued player, Joe Mauer, is $20 on the software and $23 on the BHQ website.
I assume that the pricing formulas are different (big impact on someone like Uehara or Nolasco), which raises the question if we are downloading BHQ data why wouldn't we have BHQ pricing formulas as default. What is the softwares default based on?
Are all these differences due to pricing differences?
