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

Over the years the GNUru has slightly warmed up to the first base position. Previously the GNUru believed that any top 12 first basemen would score you a heaping of "fantasy flakes". But after years of relying on guys like RichieSexso, the  GNUru has changed his ways. While a player like Sexson will certainly provide some run production, there is no substitute for the consistency and multi-category scoring the elite first basemen can provide. While Albert Puljols, Ryan Howard, and David Ortiz will be likely first round picks, immense value can still be had a little later with guys like Teixera (who disappointed many last year),Hafner (still under the radar of many), and Justin Morneau. The GNUru still likes any of the top 12 or so 1B but be sure to get the one you want, even if it means taking a Jim Thome in the 6th , rather than waiting until the final rounds and taking whoever is still there. Trust the GNUru on this one!
