Thanks for the tip. I know there's also Python out there, and I really need to learn D3.

I bet there are a few seasons of teams that would have been Stars + Scrubs that turned into just Scrubs when their star had an injury plagued season. This wouldn't impact deep teams near as much.
All it takes is one injury and a stars and scrubs team is hanging out the passenger side of his best friends ride trying to holla at me.
Yep, no injuries accounted for. That would've gotten very difficult.
And I think your point kind of bears out in the floor that you see for the deeper teams- the bottom of the 3rd quartile in the box plot. If you're deep, no matter what other stuff happens, you've got 3-in-4 chance of being a .500ish team. If you're deep and avoid scrubs, you give yourself a puncher's chance at a playoff spot. Of course, it's also just that- a puncher's chance. The top of the 2nd quartile is still right around 87 wins.
