Customer Service: HQ FAQ
How often are the features on Baseball HQ updated?
New features are posted to the site every Friday, nearly all year long. From February through September, time-sensitive information (news analyses, minor league call-ups, etc.) is updated daily. Baseball HQ takes a week off after the World Series and during the week between Christmas and New Year's Day.
At what time of day do you update new information on the site?
Daily updates are usually posted by midnight ET. Weekly updates are normally posted no later than Friday at noon ET.
Does Baseball HQ provide ongoing, real-time information?
No. Baseball HQ is designed as a source of analytical information targeted to fantasy leaguers and their needs. As such, our updates are scheduled around the timing and frequency that most fantasy leaguers make decisions for their teams. HQ is not designed to provide immediate, real-time information like the major media sites and fantasy news sites do, but to analyze and enhance the information they provide. The "Rotowire & Links" page lists links to other important sites so that you can have access to more frequent, real-time news information.
How long do the features on Baseball HQ remain accessible on the site?
In general, time-sensitive information will remain online for about three weeks, or until the information becomes dated. Regular features may remain online for up to one year. Reference material may remain online indefinitely. If you can't find what you're looking for, e-mail us and we'll see if we can help out.
Do the player projections incorporate the news information and analysis that appears on HQ?
All projections are based on historical trends and proven, long term performance. The news analysis information is intended to provide additional fodder for analysis. We evaluate the potential long-term impact of every item but often decide that the information should not be incorporated into the projections. As such, there will be occasional conflict. A player's potential is never black and white. What you need to do is consider all the information we provide as input to your own decision-making process.
Can I contribute to Baseball HQ?
Absolutely. Baseball HQ is designed to be a community effort. You can
contribute in two ways.
1 - We consider Baseball HQ to always be a work in process, constantly improving and changing as our readers' needs change. We encourage your input at all times. Do e-mail us with your comments, whether they be about links that don't work or features you'd like to see changed.
2 - We consider articles for submission on every topic. If you'd like to write an essay, first e-mail us, then we'll contact you with details about submission guidelines. Do not send completed works to us unsolicited. In addition, we normally review our resources each summer and make our hiring decisions for regular columnists at that time.
