Clearly that is the case...for a game could be easily assumed but I think also for a season. Not sure why but guys that should hit don't consistantly and guys that should not do CONSTISTANTLY. That is why I brought the point up about not being sure what I am up againsted number wise. I've learn to really depend on statmaster to get a clue at times. I can only assume that something has been added to a player and taken away....I just find it hard to believe after really playing and viewing other leagues LL and Perp the hot and cold theory is not true. In Launch leagues I just trade the TAMPERED with player away after a few series as I find after about 10 games he is what he is hitting and not what his real numbers indicate. Staduim effects are naturally taken in to account. Funny thing is after a trade they turn in to a new player(-)=(O) WINK
