5/25 Recap

Stud of the Day - David Rossi

Rossi with a big day going with Carl Crawford, who went 4/4, HR, 2 RBIs as the Sox roughed up the Tribe...Crawford is starting to heat up, he is still only batting .229 for the year, but in the past 7 days he is at .370 with 2 HRs and 6 RBIs...he is due to start playing well again..

5/24 Recap - A CarGo Sighting

Stud of the day - The 3 Carlos Gonzalez Owners....

The Rockies split a double header with Zona and CarGo had quite a day, going 3/8, 2 HRs and 4 RBIs....After a breakout season last year finishing 3rd in the MVP voting, CarGo has been fairly quiet thus far in 2011...thru yesterday he is hitting .251...so expect CarGo to be a solid pick for the rest of the RTTCers...

Week 8 Preview

No surprise here as Jose Bautista was the consensus pick this week as 9 players picked him...and he HR'd in his first AB...

Ryan Howard was picked 7 times...and Adrian Gonzalez was picked 5 times...

Only 21 different players were picked this week...

**Brooks got his pick before the start of the Brewers game last night and picked Braun, just will not be eligible for SOTW**

Week 7 Recap

Not very often does the concensus top pick of the week ened up being the SOTW, but this week that is exactly what happened...

Studs of the Week - Stout, Da. Krauss, Kapcar, R. Jones, Price, Pennington, Finkes, Perrotta

These 8 all went with Adrian Gonzalez who has been absoultely nuts in the month of May...Last week he was 13/27 with 7 RBIs (20pts)...This may be the first time ever that the SOTW did not hit any HRs...Each of the 8 Studs all on average raised their BA about 40 pts...Also this was the 1st SOTW for all 8 players getting them a pay out of $6.25 per....Congrats on the big week...(Google Pic - Elite 8)

Duds of the Week - Biederstedt, Banks, Brink

The not so killer B's this week all went with V Martinez and he did not deliver as he only got 3 hits in 19 at bats for a total of 3 pts....Of the 3, Brink is having the best year so far and is now under .300 for the first time all year at .295...

STAT THAT MAY ONLY AMAZE ME:

Since week 3, E Krauss (ME) has only 14 hits total...the SOTWs had 13 this week....unreal...and a side note the STL Cards "big 3" has just killed me this year going 9/66 .136 total when I picked them.
