About half-way down the Yahoo Sports front page, there's a section called "Who's Hot? Fantasy Performers." They list the top three "hot" guards, forwards and centers, along with the top three "not" players at the same positions. The thing is, the players selected as being "hot" and "not" (and the three stats shown to exemplify said hotness and notness over the past week) are uncanningly random and nonsensical.
I tell you this now because two of today's hot and not players are some of the most erroneous to date.
The #1 "hot" center is Jason Collins, with these three 7-day averages are shown as evidence: 1.000 FT%, 0.0 turnovers, 0.8 blocks. Meanwhile, the #3 "not" center is Chris Bosh, with these averages shown: .541 FG%, 1.0 blocks, 23.3 points. Now, which one is supposed to struggling? And how does playing a few games without a turnover and going 2-2 from the charity stripe make you the hottest center in the NBA?
I know I may be the only one on the planet who cares about Yahoo's choices for hot and not players, but the selections can be so incredibly arbitrary and counter intuitive I feel someone should at least take note of it.

Crap, you're right. 0-for-24 is much worse. I give up on life...
Something else is wrong with Yahoo fantasy sports. It says "join us February 16th" for fantasy baseball. It's February 16th, and it's not ready yet...
