Joe Pos & Bill James riff on: Hype

It’s not a typical* Posnanski article, but it’s a fun read about players who have come up thru MLB with immense amounts of hype, including the newest hypester, Matt Wieters. A good read all around. Bill: Still trying to define Hype. There is:1) The legitimate excitement about a player that builds on his skills and his potential.and2) Hype, which is built not on the player’s skills or his potential but on the excitement about them. * By not typical, I mean no Posterisks,
