Spring training is in full swing and the cream of the spring training crop is  beginning to rise to the top. The question GNUru receives every year is what to make of the spring training stats? Are they are reliable indicator of regular season success or is it just the time when the 25th man lays it all on the line to make the big club? Only time will tell but let’s look at who is tearing it up this spring….

Due to overwhelming reader requests, the GNUru will attempt to identify those of you that are afflicted with Sexy Pick Syndrome (SPS). But before we delve into specifics, let’s first provide a clinical definition of SPS. Sexy Pick Syndrome is the condition by which a Fantasy Baseball managers skills become clouded by their desire to be respected and admired amongst their peers for their prognostication ability, regardless of the effect it may or may not have on your team. If you have drafted, touted, sung the praises of, or have sacrificed the success of your team in anyway to accommodate any of the following players, you may have SPS. 
- Matt Cain
- Garrett Atkins
- Brian McCann
- J.J. Putz
- Ryan Zimmerman
- Aaron Harang
- Bronson Arroyo
- Rocco Baldelli (Perennial SPS candidate)
- Alex Rios
- Micahel Cuddyer
- Any over-hyped rookie who likely won’t produce for 2-3 years
