Spring Training Leaders


Does spring training success mean anything? Probably not, but...anyways, here are the triple crown leaders as of this morning thru about 2-3 weeks of exhibitions...

AVG. - Michael Cuddyer - .500 (18-36)

HR - Sean Rodriguez - 6

RBI - Delwyn Young - 18

Like I said, this probably won't equate to reg. season success, but if these guys have a break out year, you can't see you didn't see it coming. Also, the Tribe are 13-6 and atop the AL in the standings...so, yeah, spring training means nothing...nevermind

Ryan "2-Times" Howard


It seems someone around the league will hit 2 HRs in a game everyday....the tough part is trying to predict which guy that may be...Yesterday, in spring action, it was a RTTC favorite pick, Ryan Howard...he knocked out his 2nd and 3rd of the spring as the Phillies walked-off.

3-22 Spring Update

Its about that time to start thinking of who to pick for Week 1. Yesterday's top performances went to a pair of Washington Nationals, who both will probably get picked at some point this year. Ryan Zimmerman hit his 4th and 5th HRs of the Spring while Josh Willingham hit his 3rd and 4th bombs...

13 Days from Opening Day


Wow, what a weekend we had with March Madness..from Cornell to St. Mary's, from Ali to Omar, from Ohio to Northern Iowa...we saw it all this weekend, with it culminating yesterday with a 6'6" Center bringing it up the court down 2, passing to the point guard with 2 seconds all the while, the coach almost called a timeout...my favorite moment of the weekend... Spartan Walk-Off. That's why this time of year is so great..

While all of this madness is going down, the baseball guys are getting tuned up in spring training, getting ready for opening days in 2 weeks. And that means we are getting ready for year 3 of RTTC...see previous posts on changes for this year's format.

I will start doing some daily posts to get in shape for the start of the season.

13 days from Sox-Yankees...
