WSJ: Fantasy Sports Adds Baseball HQ To Web Holdings

Fantasy Sports Ventures Inc., a fast-growing fantasy sports company, acquired Baseball HQ, a leading Web site for statistical analysis, the companies said.

Valued in the “low seven figures,” according to a person familiar with the situation, the deal is the latest step by the New York Internet media company toward its goal of becoming a one-stop shopping center for marketers looking to connect to the estimated 15 million fantasy-sports players in the U.S.

I’ve long been curious about just how valuable some of these types of sites are or could be.  Mark down on data point.

If they could chain shandler down and attach him to the site, it'd be worth much more. As it stands, the only guaranteed property they've acquired is the trademark itself. If shandler moves his shop elsewhere (and he will, barring a big salary), the site's value will crater.

He says he's signed a four-year contract. That's an eternity in ebusiness.
