Is Baseball A Geeky Sport?

I was talking Fantasy Baseball with my friends the other day and I realized what a geeky sport baseball is. All we do is talk about stats and who has the better stats. One guy plays Moneyball, he goes with who has the best OBP. He stacks his team with them and he came in first, but lost in the playoffs.
Even if you know next to nothing about baseball, all you got to do is go to the rankings and fill your team with the best players available.
