Welcome to Player Profiles at Patton & Co

The player profiles are going to open to the public soon. There are a few of us insiders (the & Co. part) who get to populate the comment database early. I don’t have an ownership interest in this thing but Patton is my friend and I think it’s the neatest thing around. So I hope to soon get my contribution level into second place, at least.

Mike Fenger is one of the other & Co. contributors and I realized tonight that I didn’t thank him in the magazine for his work getting the minor league stats in shape for the Fantasy Baseball Guide 2004. Mike loves baseball and is a tireless student of the game. He also brings with him a skeptic’s sense of bs, which means the opinions he expresses are usually properly shaded. His enthusiasms, I’ve found, aren’t always right (whose are?) but they always come with a foundation of factual evidence.

It isn’t hyperbole to point out that this makes him a rare pundit.

Thanks, Mike. Your name should be on the Fantasy Baseball Guide 2004 masthead. I’m very sorry it isn’t.
