>From AP WIRES: 

Fantasy baseball has a new critic--and he's on the inside. 
In a YouTube video, Jeffrey Horatio Winick, who plays the role of a fantasy baseball genius in the USML sitcom, tells viewers not to play fantasy baseball because it contains "filth." His comments are part of a religious testimony given to the Church Of Latter Day Baseball Geeks. 
"If you play fantasy baseball, please stop playing and stop reading my advice columns. I don't want to play anymore. Please stop filling your spreadshets with filth," he says. 
He continues: "Do some research on the effects of my advice to other players, and I promise you you'll have a decsion to make when it comes to playing fantasy baseball and especially when you read my baseball notes. It's bad news. You cannot be a true Blocker-fearing person and play fantasy baseball like I do. I know I can't." 
Winick, 53, who began playing fantasy baseball as a boy, has grown up during the USML's several-year run. 
The USML comedy series has been criticized at times for its child-oriented content. And it ran into a publicity buzzsaw in spring 2011 when star owner Andy Klein was sanctioned after making disparaging comments about Winick's picture in a fantasy baseball magazine, though it recovered when Winick traded Mike Trout to the Riptorns last spring. 
Rich Robbins, who produces the USML, declined comment on Winick's statements.
