Peter Kreutzer has been writing about fantasy baseball since 1993, first as a correspondent for Alex Patton’s books, then Les Leopold brought him on to do projections for Peter Golenbock’s How to Win at Rotisserie Baseball books. His projections were the first fantasy baseball content on ESPN.com, posted its inaugural week in 1995. They have been published at ESPN.com, MLB.com and in the Patton $ Online Software ever since.
Peter wrote his Ask Rotoman column for ESPN.com weekly and Rotoman’s Spring Training Trip (30 Columns in 30 Days from 30 Florida Baseball Towns) through 1998. The summer of 1999 he was the fantasy guy at Baseball Prospectus, and later that year launched (at the behest of publisher Barry Rosenbloom) The Fantasy Baseball Guide. The first Fantasy Football Guide followed the next summer. Peter was founding editor-in-chief of both and continues to edit them.
The Guides are celebrating their 14th anniversary of publication this year.
He was a columnist at mlb.com from 2000 to 2007. He provides projections and bid prices for Patton $ Online Software and Data, and is a contributor to pattonandco.com. He is also a member of the Tout Wars LLC.
He is the writer-director of Little League’s Official How-to-Play Baseball DVD, the writer (with Ted Kerley) of Little League’s Official How-to-Play Baseball Book, the writer director of Let’s Play Baseball (with Ozzie Smith), writer director of Joe Namath’s Video Football Camp, and writer director of Let’s Play Tennis (with Tracey Austin and Cliff Drysdale).
His DVD, Audubon’s VideoGuide to Butterflies Common and Endangered was released in 2009.
He lives in Brooklyn, NY, with his wife, the writer Elizabeth Royte, and their daughter.
Hi David. Write to me at askrotoman (at) gmail.com. I look forward to it.
Hey Pete
I’m Julie’s friend from NM. We saw you last at her party for moving out – although I guess that didn’t happen quite as soon as she hoped.
Anyway, Julie emailed me your blog info, so I’ll follow along. And comment (whether you want that or not). : ) I’m already reading my Shandler forecaster and listing players I think I need to know about. Multi-year contract league, so I have to know them early on.
See ya, David
