Avoiding the Blurbstomp – Season’s Greetings

Imagine if you will a Sunday night. The day games have come and gone, and you lazily watch two teams battle under the drone of announcers and commercials. You go to your favorite non-Razzball fantasy site to read the instant analysis of your player’s 3-5, 1 HR, 4 RBI’s, 1 STL performance. You find the blurb, and read the following:
Hank Trucksworth III
Trucksworth had three hits in five chances, drove in four runs, and stole a base in the Twinkies win over the Clubs.
Analysis: Another great game from Trucksworth, although the steal is only his third all season. He remains a solid if uninspiring 4th or 5th OF in deep mixed leagues.
You read the blurb and feel good, though you drafted Trucksworth to be your 3rd OF, and the Caught Stealing stings. You also feel good knowing your leaguemates might read that same blurb, but not feel the White Light/White Heat dopamine blast you just experienced.
Then you read the next blurb.
