Quote of the day
"We didn't panic and that's something we've done, but we didn't." -- Celtics coach Doc Rivers, after the team staved off elimination with a 6-point win over the Knicks in Madison Square Garden

Daily blurb
Most top MLB starting pitchers now have six starts in 2013. I looked at results using several different fantasy point systems, and the current top five were the same in all systems: Clay Buchholz, Yu Darvish, Matt Harvey, Anibel Sanchez, and Adam Wainwright. The only one of those who was among the top ten drafted starting pitchers in the five RIBC leagues is Yu Darvish, who was the 10th. Wainwright was 14th, and the highest of the other three was Sanchez (38th). Arguably, Matt Moore (drafted 27th) should be on the list, since his 6th start isn’t until tomorrow, and his average per-start stats would rank him third overall. Also, the ESPN player rater (rankings based on 5x5 roto scoring) has Jordan Zimmerman (drafted 21st) ranked fourth, ahead of Wainwright and Sanchez.

Obviously, six starts does not a season make. But the correlation between fantasy ADP and subsequent performance doesn’t look very strong so far.

The GuruGolf foursomes for the Wells Fargo Championship are reasonably diverse this week. Boo Weekley is the most popular GuruGolfer, but he’s on less than 30% of active foursomes. Jimmy Walker is the only other golfer who appears on at least 20% of foursomes. Weekley currently shares the early lead at -3 through 13 holes, so that seems to be working out so far. Walker tees off this afternoon.
