April Fools Day

Stud of the Day - JP Arencibia, TOR 3/4 , 2 HRs, 5 RBIs...was not picked in week 1

DUD of the Day - Kevin Kouzmanoff, 0-3, K, 2 Errors....was not picked this week either

Top Play of the Day - Neil Walker with a grand tater...

Neil Walker went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in a 6-3 win over the Cubs on Friday.
The fifth-inning blast brought the Pirates back from an early two-run deficit. Walker is just the second player in Pirates history to hit a grand slam on Opening Day and the first since Roberto Clemente in 1962. Walker was overlooked in many fantasy leagues, despite batting .296 with 12 homers last season. We think he'll end up being a nice value pick -rotoworld

Opening Day - Tex Message

Stud of the Day - Troy Brooks

1-3 , HR , 3 RBIs...via Mark Teixeira....good start for T-Bizzy Brooks

Duds of the Day - Pujols Owners - Myself included

24 Hours til 2011 Starts

Well, spring training is all but done for most teams..a few teams will still play an exhibition today before the start of the season tomorrow...The Tribe is in town today to face off with the Clippers, which pretty much resembles a Clippers intrasquad game..hard to tell which side is the "major leaguers"...oh and its snowing too...sweet

Lets take a look at a snapshot of this years Spring Training results...

Leaders

Hits - E. Almonte, MIL - 32...hit .417...looks like he made the team after being a non-roster invitee

HRs - J. Fox, BAL - 10...wow in 74 ABs too....back up catcher for the O's

RBIs - A. Gordon, KC - 23...

Of those 3, I can only see Gordon picked this year at some point...but who knows..its a long year...lets see if they can keep it up..

Best Spring Record

AL- KC 20-10...makes sense...tons of talent in Minors playing late innings

NL- SF 22-12...makes sense...won it all last year, great pitching

Worst Record

AL - CWS - 11-20....should be an average team this year...+ they added the big donkey

NL - HOU - 11-23...bad

RTTC Predictions

Avg Leader - O/U - .335

HR Leader - O/U - 42.5

RBI Leader - O/U - 135

Thats all for now....ready for the action to start

REMEMBER - If you miss a pick deadline - you will be ineligible for that weeks STUD OF THE WEEK POT, but can still submit a pick late....each day late will equal on 0-3.

Get fee paid by May 1st...if you are late on that, you will be ineligible for the STUD OF THE WEEK POT as well...

Three Days Away

We are almost there...

Tigers and Yankees and Braves and Nationals start the season this Thursday at 1:05pm...

Week 1 Picks must be in by 12:30pm...If you miss the 12:30 deadline, you can still submit a pick, you just wont be eligile for the weekly $50 prize....week 1 goes from march 31st to April 10th...

If you are still trying to get friends and family in the RTTC have them send me a pick by Thursday...so far we have about 10 rookies this year and should have around 50 RTTCers...

Try and put together a list of players maybe 5-10 long in case you are worried you may miss a deadline, so you aren't penalized...
