    Default Interesting Article: Trusting Fantasy Baseball Analysts...

    I'm not sure how many people read or at least try to read different analysts opinions on certain players. I came across this interesting article, which I found funny as well (bashing another analyst).

    It made me think how much I value this site for hockey, as Dobber takes credit for making mistakes when he's wrong in his valuation of players, where as, there are lots of other analysts that don't! I value his opinion way more than others because of this.

    Anyway if you are bored and want to give this article a read go to http://www.fantasyalarm.com/articles/bender/42904/fantasy-baseball-analysts-transparency-accountability/

    Cheers!

    Appreciate the post! Really makes you appreciate what Dobber has grown around here.
    Also interesting to see the baseball spin on it for a change.

    Believe me I would loveeeeeeeeeeeee if all these baseball "experts" were held accountable for their predictions. Im a podcast guy so listen to them daily and man the amount of time one week they're in love with a guy calling him a top 30 SP, only to say drop him next week.....it's frustrating as a dedicated member of the fantasy world.

    Hah!
    Pretty interesting article for a few reasons:

    1. The author takes what appears to be (what I would consider) a private trade offer & comments and puts them out on in public. Um, dude, maybe you ARE smarter on valuations of players... but this is not OK public article discussion.
    2. The obscenity. Oh, snap. Yes, you feel strongly about your opinion, but don't go swearing. Jeebus. It's not a forum.
    3. The actual offer - was terrible. So also shame on the "RotoExpert" for the "I didn't now" and "I have a life", "How am I supposed to keep track of 750 players?"....

    All that said, I've been this passionate about FANTASY SPORTS at times too.
    But... after one writes something... I think its worth going back over it... reading it a few times... remarking of this is what you really want to say.
    If this is just your hobby (us "forum hacks"... fine, say what you want).
    If this is your career... um, try to be a professional.
    There's only a career in something if you can be a professional.

    Pengwin7, that's why I thought this was funny, the author was obviously pissed about the offer and then the responses of the offer, just added to the frustration. I am pretty sure we have all had these kinds of offers, but to take it to the public in this manner makes me laugh. I haven't checked today, but I am hoping for a rebuttal.....

    Hockeyrobot, I hear what you are saying about some analysts loving a guy one week and then the next week he is waiver fodder. That's why I like this article though, because you do need to find someone who you trust and believe has a good sense of which players they believe in.

    I typically can't stand personal opinion pieces like this.
    - The guy getting ripped on is in first. The guy writing it is in 7th.
    - Kluber can hurt your team value more than he can help it sometimes (has a bad game). And after throwing as much as he has last yr, it's not really a surprise at how he's done this yr.
    - The guy just is ranting.
    - He doesn't give us the categories, the league type (Dynasty or not), the positions, the scoring (only says 24pts behind).

    The guy just rants on how he personally doesn't like this trade, plus I bet he's thrown out offers just as bad, but he thinks they're fair.
