Yahoo! Sports – Fantasy – The Skinny: Anticipated debuts: “Andy Marte, 3B, Atl – Chipper Jones has opted against surgery, meaning he may return to the Atlanta lineup by the end of July. Marte will continue to split time with Wilson Betemit, but neither has long-term value now that Chipper’s season appears to be saved.”
This analysis is totally wack.
I have no idea if Marte can hit now, but if he gets six weeks to show us what he can do, doesn’t that matter? Good? Bad? You have to bet on it. I’d stay away, but I wouldn’t be surprised if i was wrong.
And Wilson Betemit, a former top prospect who didn’t show much the last couple years, is playing like a major leaguer now, at least in the situations he’s been inserted into.
How do these machinations change fantasy leagues? Indescribably.
People who write comments like thoes referenced above seem to think they’re in the business of explaining it all. But of course, when they try to, they’re not very useful.
We live in a fantastic age when there is a ton of information to all of us all the time.
Amazing.
