Some Data

I was just goofing with the spreadsheet to make sure the formulas are correct... here is some fodder for discussion.

Excluding trades and short picks, the top 5 picks in the FPGP to date are:

1. David Duval (113 points)
2. Richard Johnson (98)
3. Stephen Ames (96)
4. "Tour Star" Danny Ellis (95)
5. Jesper Parnevik (74)

Conversely, the worst picks so far, excluding trades, shorts, and the guys who got dumped are:

1. D.J. Trahan (-57)
2. Padraig Harrington (-49)
3. Paul Casey (-45)
4. Jason "Staying Home During the Open" Gore (-35)
5. Sergio Garcia (-33)

The "average" score per player, excluding trades and shorts is 20.8

The median score is 20 (which is Jimmy Walker)

There is also a near perfect correlation with the order of the trades and how well they are doing... what I mean is that the first trade (Jeff's for Greg Owen) has been the best, and they get progressively worse the longer we waited to execute a trade... that may turn out differently by the end of the year though.
