7-7 POD

3-4 , 3 HR , 7 RBI ...Not a bad night for Konerko...I am starting to think I should take a player on a team that faces the Indians that week...can't go wrong..

7-6-POD

4-5 , 1 HR , 4 RBI....Shane Victorino....the Flyin' Hawaiian, led the Phillies in a spanking over the Reds 22-1...He is another player that has never been picked

WEEK 13 RESULTS - MIDSEASON REPORT

STUD OF THE WEEK - SHAWN HERLIHY

.480 4HR 8RBI....Herlihy had the highest BA, and HR this week, and that carried him to Stud of the week honors...he is at .305 19HR and 65RBI for the first half, which has him in great position in all 3 cats....His huge week in RBIs gave him his first All-Star selection...Prime candidate for Rookie of the Year...(google pic...Herl)

DUDS OF THE WEEK- TOM ZGELA, JARED BINDEL

0-6, 0HR 0RBI...The injury bug strikes again...this is the 2nd time for Zgela this year...also he is in danger of not qualifying for the BA Title...A minimum of 503 ABs is needed per RTTC Rules...3.1 ABs per game X 162 games) Despite the bad luck, ZMan and Bindel both are sitting pretty good overall, just need to avoid the injury bug.
