Reading some of the posts below regarding starting early and skewed stats, I was reminded of something that is peculiar to RT. (Sorry, Trad guys.)TYhat is: slow starters in RT leagues are penalized way beyond performance over fast starters. Bear with me. If one player guy starts off the first 55 games hitting .200, with 5 dingers and a bad (.600?) OPS and another starts .360, 12, .980, yet by the end of the year they have identical .280, 25 .850. The fast starter, by virtue of his early season numbers (and his continued better numbers during his skid) should far out-preform the guy who started slow and crept up to respectability. I don't know how feasible this is, but can the season be broken up into , say, thirds; have the numbers isolated for one third of the season, and make those applicable?

It seems this might bring into affect that 'streak thing people have asked for as well as balance out the disparity between the toroise and the hare
