Sports Illustrated Fantasy

I just felt like I had to say something here. Every single time I'm bored enough to actually click on that terrible fantasy section I'm both amused and appalled. It has got to be the worst fantasy baseball site provided by a respected sports source of all time. With very few exceptions I disagree with what they say or what they say is so obvious that it doesn't bear mentioning at all.

Seriously it's ridiculous.

They label Chris Sale as a "do-not-draft arm". In what universe is Sale undraftable?

Other gems are:

R.A. Dickey - "Breakthroughs just don't happen late in your 30s". Really? Because how many other guys without a Ulnar Collateral Ligament have gone to the minors, completely learned a new pitch, and THEN PROCEEDED TO THROW A KNUCKLEBALL OVER 80 MPH? Oh right. The answer is none.

Encarnacion - while criticizing his bat, "Watch for injuries and errors - some of the reasons he didn't break out until age 29". Last year after moving to first base part time he made 3 errors in 66 games started for a .995 fielding percentage. Also what the fuck does this have to do with his bat? Will they bench him? Will they move him back to third? No and No. Injuries are always a concern but don't bring up his fielding here.

Crisp - "the A's are not a team that values the stolen base". Coco Crisp has gotten the green light significantly more as a member of the Oakland A's than he did as a member of Boston or KC. In fact it's not even close. Here are his last 6 years of stolen base attempt % (basically how often he goes with a bag open in front of him) -

Year	Team	%
2007	Boston	23
2008	Boston	25
2009	KC	28
2010	Oak	40
2011	Oak	41
2012	Oak	36

so tell me again how they suppress his running? 

I could go on and on but they make me nuts. It's like they don't do research or something.
