A roundup of items recently posted on the FSB News page.

- Major League Soccer has collaborated with Big Lead Sports (nee Fantasy Sports Ventures) to create its Pro Soccer Picks platform. The new game presents a fantasy component watered down significantly from a previous MLS offering that reportedly didn’t find much success. (The downfall? Our guess would be the whole soccer affiliation.)

- Supporting the recently announced FSWA voting results, Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez reportedly proved the winningest player in Yahoo! fantasy baseball by appearing on 53.4 percent of Yahoo!’s top 500 public-league teams. Buster Posey (the FSWA’s fantasy rookie of the year) came in second at 34.2 percent.

- Fantasy veteran Sam Hendricks has released a new book called Fantasy Baseball for Beginners. (No word yet on what subject the book covers.)

- Fantasy Healthball has been making its Internet rounds for a couple of years now. The effort that combines fantasy football with personal fitness recently got a full treatment from the San Francisco Chronicle.
