Real baseball v fantasy baseball

By Tangotiger

Pinot points out:

It seems that one of the main divers of the credibility gap between fantasy analysts and “real baseball” analysts is something to do with the fact that one is considered frivolous (fantasy) and the other is considered important and “impactful” on real world business (real baseball).

Besides the fact that I loathe biz speak like impactful, I submit the the converse of the above is generally more true.
