I want to highlight some hot and cold hitters from the previous week every week. For this blog, I am only going to do Opening Weekend. I will probably add pitchers eventually, but I just felt like doing hitters as it was only four games.
These will not always be the top guys in HRs or players who strike out the most. These are just who I kept my eye on the most and whose statistics I think are noteworthy.
There will be some Red Sox bias. I am not perfect.
