He was 2/4 with a HR, and 5 RBI yesterday as they Redlegs had a big come from behind win against the DBacks...Banks and Riether were the 2 to pick him this week...BP is having a solid year, but will have to step up his production with Votto out for a while...

7/18 Recap -

STUD OF THE DAY - BILLY BUTLER

BB was 3/3, HR, RBI...(5PTS) ..Perfect night for Butler... Only picked by 2 people this week..Tim Guelde and Pennington (not eligible for SOTW)

From Elias: Billy Butler was 3-for-3 with two walks against the Mariners on Wednesday night, including a game-winning home run in the bottom of the ninth inning. He's the first player in Royals history to hit a walkoff home run in a game in which he had at least five plate appearances and reached base in every one of them.

Week 14 Recap -

The 2nd half is underway...

STUDS OF THE WEEK - Bindel, Cowan, Price

These 3 went with the hottest player in the world right now..A McCutcheon, and he went off...again... He was 7/12 with 3 HRs and 4 RBIs (14PTS) in the shortened week...It is Price's 2nd SOTW and Bindel and Cowan's 1st of the year...McCutcheon has been the SOTW Pick in 3 of the last 4 weeks...In that span he is batting .489 with 10 HRs and 27 RBIs..Looks like the Pirates have themselves the MVP this year...Congrats on splitting the $60 fellas...

DUDS OF THE WEEK - Schurr, Gordon

Gordon picked Bryce Harper and he only managed 1 hit over the weekend (1/12)..He had more Ozzie Guillen F Bombs yelled at him than pts this weekend...and since Schurr took a prolonged All Star break and did not submit a pick..he gets saddled with the lowest score as well...

TEAM STUDS OF THE WEEK - A's, Braves, Cubs, Giants, Reds

A bunch of sweeps this weekend...most surprising one was probably the Cubs winning 3 in a row....

TEAM DUDS OF THE WEEK - Astros, Cardinals, DBacks, Twins

...also the Cards not getting a win in Cincy was kind of surprising as well...
