The question, then, is whether we can estimate the "correct" hr/f for a given player. An even more important question is whether we can use that information to predict regression from one season to the next. In two words: yes and yes.

The last pitch of Major League Baseball's 2011 regular season was barely in the books when the 2012 season officially began in the National Fantasy Baseball Championship (NFBC).
