ESPN Fantasy Spin

So I am a pretty big fan of the ESPN fantasy sports in general, but I have got a gripe.  This is probably something that is done on other sites as well, but I have specifically noticed it all the time on ESPN.

Every year in fantasy baseball there are players that overachieve early in the season and players who underachieve.  This is usually an ideal time to “buy low” on the underachiever or “sell high” on the overachiever.  However, thanks to ESPN making comments like “Now that he’s hurt, the time to sell Wellemeyer high may be passing” it is virtually impossible to pull one slick trades off at the right moment.  The best is when they encourage you to sell high in their fantasy spin.  Thanks, you just told anyone that I offer this guy to they are getting screwed.  I just wish they would ease up on the sell high and buy low comments.
