Hello, friends.
It’s a wonderful time of year, with buckets of April showers now forcing a bevy of flowers to bloom at our house, whilst tricking any passerby into thinking master gardeners must live there. In reality, we just bought our house from an old woman who really (really!) liked to garden and had virtually everything automated/dummy-proofed. I’m not even kidding – only a bare minimum of maintenance is required and we spend a couple of months drowning in flowers — but those silly, passersby don’t need to know that, do they? Ruse!
April also brought us new showers of power for fantasy baseball; some old faces, some new. I bet you can’t guess who is currently leading the league in home-run rate? Psst…It rhymes with “Jorge Polanco“. With every flip of the calendar, our sample sizes to separate the useful wheat from the confusing chaff of statistical noise grow ever larger. Particularly in the land of power, as many batted-ball statistics don’t require monster pools of data before we can start naming them possibly significant.
