Week 19 Recap -

Just about a quarter of the year remains..

STUD OF THE WEEK - JESSICA KAPCAR

Her first of the year, and she doesn't have to split the $ with someone else!..She picked Jay Bruce this week and he went 12/28 with 3 HR and 7 RBI (22PTS)...She edged out the Pujols owners (21PTS)...Only 3 other players would have been better picks this week - H Ramirez - 23 PTS, Swisher and G Jones - 25 PTS...She is now 3rd in BA at .330, and that looks to be her best shot at the year end money...

DUDS OF THE WEEK - CANO OWNERS

He only played in 4 games during the week and struggled... 8 people picked him this week and he had 1 hit in 17 ABs..(1PT)...Of all the Cano Owners, the Krauss Krew was hurt the most, the others aren't really in major contention...Krauss Krew was .324 before the week, now sit at .313...big blow...

TAKING A LOOK AT BA

In my opinion, anyone over .300 still has a shot at a top 3 finish with 7 weeks to go...That leaves 16 players with a legit shot at  the BA Title..The past 3 years the champ has averaged about .337..Right now T Krauss is at .335

TAKING A LOOK AT HR

HRs can add up in a hurry..it is possible in a 7 week span to have about 3 per week, So anyone with over 20 HRs could make a run yet...that leaves 43 players with a shot at of at least 40 HRs if they get real hot...the past 3 years, an average of 43 HRs has been the champ...Right now Smith is on pace for about 44 for the year...

TAKING A LOOK AT RBI

Just like HRs, RBIs can add up fast..a couple double digit weeks in a row can make for a quick comeback...There are 24 people within 20 RBIs of 3rd place right now...Smitty has a 7 RBI lead right now and is on pace for around 140 RBIs...The champ in the past 3 years has averaged around 133.

TEAM PICKS STUD - REDS OWNERS

REDS with a nice 5-2 week...5 people picked them...

TEAM PICKS DUD - ANGELS, PADRES OWNERS

Not a good week to pick these 2 west coast teams...6 people picked them....
