Unlike me, a fantasy baseball columnist has to write stuff every week. Like day traders, they have to believe in the hot stock. Otherwise, they run out of things to write about.
One way to milk out a column is to sort out some hot players and make believe they’re for real. In Matthew Berry’s recent effort, he’ll convince you that Asdrubel Cabrera is just as good as Dustin Pedroia. Or something like that.
Berry may be right. When he talks up a few dozen players in a single column, he’s bound to mention at least one whose numbers will hold true for more than a fortnight. But just remember that he wrote his column before Manny Parra‘s most recent outing.
