I don’t want to be offensive: But I always seem to feel that “experts” are considered “experts” because they are good writers that are winning to share strategy. Do you think this unfairly eliminates a pool of incredibly talented fantasy players that don’t write despite just as good or possibly even better skills in fantasy baseball?
