Stacking team with perennial April overachievers?

[Bixby]

Does anyone know how to lookup offensive leaders by month? I'm going to try to stack my team with fast starters then maybe try to dump them off in June.

 

And yes I do realize this will 99% not work and everyone will inevitably start slow.

Here is 2008s. Unfortunately, try as I might, I can't filter out April splits from a range of years. If I play around with the splits box on the right hand side and try April splits from 2002-2008, it ignores the "only April stats" filter. I would just go through each year individually and find which batters are consistently showing up.

this strategy is idiotic

It's not that it won't work because they'll inevitably start slow. It won't work because even if they start off hot in April, you then assume they suck in May, which means you'll get nothing in return for them in June. If you're gonna strike while the iron is hot, especially based on a hot first month, you do it in the middle of the month, you don't wait for the luster to wear off a month later

I hope Bixby is in one of my leagues.

LOL thanks for the feedback guys. The last time I played fantasy baseball Brady Anderson was on my team so I don't think I have much of a chance, especially with my lack of knowledge of AL players. I probably won't go for this strategy after all, too much work. Instead I'll just draft way too many Cubs too early and be out of contention by the all-star break.
