5-2 Recap -

Crazy night in MLB...We had a no hitter in LA..we had 2 different 40+ year olds hit walk off HRs...and we had 4 different guys hit 2 HRs....but only 1 was picked in RTTC...

STUD OF THE DAY - CARLOS GONZALEZ

CarGo was 2/4, 2HRs, and 3 RBIs as the Rox walked off on the Dodgers...Zavislak and Wyse were the only 2 guys to pick CarGo...I originally had Wyse down as ineligble this week, but his timestamp on his email was ahead of the deadline...it just came late...probably because he is out on his honeymoon somewhere.."busy"...Congrats Wyse!

DUD OF THE DAY - Prince Fielder

Prince took the collar last night at 0/4...Off to a fairly slow start...he is on pace for only 20HRs and 81RBIs this year...you have got to believe that pace will pick up soon...Tigers also struggling as a team at 12-12, but only 1 GB of 1st...you got to believe they will go on a run here soon as well...2 guys took Prince this week...

Week 4 Preview - Miggy and the Rays

Onto week #4...

Only 22 different players picked this week, down from 30 something last week.  There were a few players picked alot...As usual, the previous week STUD was picked the most...Miggy Cabrera picked 9 times...the best player in MLB, Matt Kemp was picked 8 times...and Longoria and Granderson were each picked 6 times...It looks like it was a rough Monday for injuries....Longoria left his game early, and rumors are swirling about the health of Hamilton, Morneau, and Swisher as well...Those 4 players being hurt affect 12 RTTC owners...

There were no new picks this week to the RTTC board...

The BA leader, Adam Staley (.429) picked Jay Bruce this week...
The HR leader, Jon Davia (10) picked Miggy Cabrera...
The RBI leader, Adam Staley (26) picked Bruce....

15 teams were picked this week...The most being the Rays - 15 times...Yankees - 12 times, and Tigers - 7 times...All eyes are on the leader Jeremy Berg (19-3) who picked the NYY, who won last night...so he is the 1st to 20 wins....

Week 3 Recap - BiederSTUD

STUD OF THE WEEK - JOSH BIEDERSTEDT

Biederstud went with Miguel Cabrera and he was 7-22 this week with 3 HRs and 8 RBI, good for 18 pts...I am going to go out on a limb and say that will be the lowest SOTW total for the season, but Bieder don't care, he got his $60....There were a bunch of players that finished in the 16-17 point range for the week, so a lot of honorable mentions to go out...Bieder is off to arguably his best start in his 5 year career of RTTC, as he has hit over .300, and had at least 2HRs and 5RBIs each week so far...He only had 21 HRs last year, this year has 8 already...almost half way there JB...Congrats!

DUD OF THE WEEK - Ryan Jones

@czarjonesey7 aka Ryan Jones had a rough week going with Hanley Ramirez...HanRam had only 1 hit in 21 ABs...and with that hit he also added an RBI...good for 2 pts...Lucky for Marlins fans that one hit was a walk off at least...Its been a pretty slow start for RyJo, as he is only hitting .210 on the year, but at least he is in the middle of the pack in HRs and RBIs...Ryan has to shake off this Dud performance this week, as he has a big week ahead of him...graduating from Miami U this weekend....I am sure he will be deep in his cups Sat afternoon/evening when I arrive at his graduation party...He is looking for bounce back week..what better way than to have one last week in college...

TEAM STUD - RED SOX

The Sox went 6-1 this week, and have seemingly righted to the ship...Graven and Riether were the only ones to pick them...

TEAM DUD - Angels, Tigers

Both of these AL preseason favorites had an awful week, going 1-5...Parker, Shipley and Jess Kapcar were the unlucky ones that trusted in them this week...
