Many fantasy owners target elite performers in scarce statistics like SBs. If you can draft one or two top base stealers, you can focus on the other categories as you draft your remaining hitters. In 2011, eight of the top ten base stealers in the AL had appeared in the top ten at least one time before, and six of the top ten in the NL had a previous top ten performance. Can we increase our chances of drafting one of these elite stolen base performers ?

What affect does an extreme H%, and its subsequent regression, have on scoring stats? Our first hypothesis is that a H% greater than 34% might result in a higher Dom rate. Pitchers with an inflated H% face more batters than they "normally" would, since batters are reaching base that otherwise might be retired. Therefore, pitchers have more opportunities to strike out hitters, leading to an inflated Dom -- which would return to a lower level upon H% regression.

Are players worth targeting after posting a 10-game hitting streak?

First, do players get "hot" (defined by a hitting streak) more often than we would expect by chance? And second, do players who have hitting streaks of at least 10 games, show improved performance over the next 10 games? If so, we should target these players.
