Yahoo is out with a fantasy baseball widget for that 10′ Media Center interface. Both XP and Vista are supported… AND you can use the Xbox 360 as a media extender if the PC isn’t in the living room. Right now it includes live stats and box scores, but “Smack Talk” and exclusive multimedia are on the way.
Using the remote control, consumers can get real-time updates on their fantasy baseball scores without missing a minute of the live game on their television screen. Key features of the new version include:
- Fantasy Baseball – Follow fantasy leagues and get live updates
- Real Time Game Data – Get all the important information such as player stats, inning information, who’s at bat and more
- Scoreboard – Get a birds eye view of all of the action across the league
Unlike Yahoo’s earlier football offering that required Intel Viiv (boo), access to this one isn’t limited to some sort of marketing arrangement. Hopefully it’ll remain open come fall football season because fantasy baseball just doesn’t do it for me.
