How can the newest baseball metrics help you win your fantasy league?

0:04.8

Well, let's ask Robert O'er, who created one of them.

Eric Hulterman here with my guest today, Robert Orr of Baseball Prospectus and FtN Fantasy and the creator of my favorite new baseball metric, Seeger. More on that for the bulk of today's show. Also, we'll be getting to
