As a sports fan that plays fantasy sports and likes to look up stats, I have always wanted an easier way to look up information and stats about my favorite players (as well as the ones on my fantasy team). A site like ESPN or even the league’s site has the information I’m looking for but requires a lot of searching and clicking to find it.

Yahoo! Sports Shortcuts has made it pretty simple by integrating it into their search. By just searching the name of the player, a stats summary of the player and additional links for more detailed stats is made available as well as their Fantasy Ranking. Currently it is only works for Baseball and Football but will likley be available for Basketball and Hockey when their seasons start.
