The tools.
Everything on Balladex that does something rather than just tells you something — compare two players on the metrics they share, simulate a trade against the cap, run a draft, set a weekly lineup, read the contract and card markets, or put live NBA and NFL data on your own site. All free, all built on the same database as the player pages.
