Fantasy Baseball

Congrats on hitting your 756th career home run and being the new home run king, Barry. But you’re no help to my fantasy team now.

Even chasing the record, he was often pulled in the late innings and sat in day games after night games. Now with the feat accomplished, the only thing we can expect is less playing time. Add that to his significant dropoff in numbers since the All Star break and the fact that he’s 43, and you’ve got a fantasy player that should be riding the pine in favor of more durable, everyday players.

Thanks for the numbers, Barry, but you’re on the bench now.
