Hello, degenerates!
This article represents a new feature that is based on an old idea. My favorite sport is baseball and my favorite team is, generally speaking, not very good. Cincinnati Reds, last playoff series win: 1995. Holla if ya hear me, Wolves fans.
One of the things sticks out as a function of being a fan of a mediocre (or worse) team is that early-season performances maintain a disproportionately high representation of how my brain processes the relative value of the players who had a really good (or really bad) start to the season.
