In addition to wanting to focus on 2006, teams that are doing poorly at the moment begin to alter their perception of the teams that are doing well. No longer are those teams the recipients of good fortune that they were for the month of April.
Those teams are now in the midst of acquiring a "truly" good team. And why is that? Because the negativity that the poorly-performing teams have endured and tried to square away with their self-image of being a good Roto player is weakening after 40 days of their team's crappy performances! And 40 days of watching Eric Bedard spin gems, and Brian Roberts hit HRs and steal bases, and Dave Dellucci bat like Barry Bonds for those teams who are doing well!
None of this should change your 162-game projections. If you believe Eric Byrnes is going to have a duplicate 2004 season in 2005, then don't give-up yet. he could easily go on a two-week tear where he does a Brian Roberts impersonation. Or more likely, he can hit 4 HR and steal 4 bases in the next three weeks and reach the end of May on pace for those 15-20 HR and 15-20 SB you projected.
