NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - March 31, 2009) - Information Builders, an independent leader in
business intelligence (BI)
solutions, today announced that it has a new MLB Fantasy League Active
Report to provide baseball enthusiasts and fantasy players with a free,
easy way to quickly access MLB statistics. With opening day less than two
weeks away, fantasy participants are under pressure to make their final
picks and are looking for ways to gain statistical insight on players and
teams to make more educated decisions.
Anyone with Web access can crunch the numbers with the MLB Fantasy League
Active Report to analyze the results and gain real insight into the 2009
baseball season. The report can be accessed at:
http://www.informationbuilders.com/mlb/. Almost instantaneously, users can
answer questions such as who are the fastest base stealers in the West? Who
are the hottest power hitters in the American League? Are National League
pitchers at a disadvantage because they have to bat? The report allows
filtering on many criteria -- lefty, righty, position, players, team,
league, etc. It allows users to generate comparative charts, reports and
calculations with the ability to easily e-mail results to anyone. Data will
be available for the duration of the 2009 MLB season.

analytic applications, WebFOCUS Active Reports has its own API, components,
