Unscientific observations from the first quarter of the season.

1. Hot hitters > Cold pitchers

Picking 10 at a time with quollas' scriptball made me realize that hitters that don't walk / strikeout a lot and have 9+ hits in the past week outperform "pretty good" hitters going up against a high whip / high era pitcher.

2. Leaderboard swings

The top 10 list varies. Some weeks, there's hardly any picks day to day. Others you'll see half the top ten whiped out for the same player. I like the marathon mentality, but I also get impatient and want to see some action.

I know there are a lot of models, scripts, and calculations out there. Sometimes you trust the farmer instead of the meteorologist when bad weather is expected. What have you found?
