8/25 Recap - All Kinds of RBIs

Lots of great performances yesterday...

Stud of the Day - Brian McCann
McCann went 2/4, with 2 HRs and 4 RBIs...He was picked by Perrotta this week whom is ineligible for the SOTW...

Others Notables -
Granderson - 2/4, HR, 5 RBI...Picked both by the Malinta Mafia duo of Beiderstedt and Stout
B Butler - 4/5, 2 RBI...Picked by Jeff Dillaman
Cano - 2/4, HR, 5 RBI...Picked by Burger and Riether...Riether started the week in 2nd in RBIs with 100...Burger was 4th with 95...

8/24 Recap - AL MVP in Boston?

Stud of the Day - Jacoby Ellsbury
He was 3/5, HR, 2 RBIs last night as the Red Sox crushed the Rangers... Not real sure where the power has come from this year for Ellsbury, but he now has 23 HRs on the year, 2 more than teammate Adrian Gonzalez..I could see him getting lots of MVP votes in October...Rob Price and Todd Sigler were the 2 players to pick him this week, who are 2nd and 5th in Batting Average...

8/23 Recap - Here Comes D Rychener

Stud of the Day - Aramis Ramirez
He as the consensus pick of the week and he didn't let the 4 players that picked him down...He went 5/5 with 2 RBIs...so far this week he is a scorching hot 8 for 9 (.889) Of the 4 players that picked ARARAM this week, D Rychener started the week with the highest AVG at .301...and now is already at .313...things can change quick in the BA category, which makes it the most fun to watch down the stretch...

Week 21 Preview - Sweet Lou Edition

32 Different players picked this week...Which I believe is an all-time RTTC high

Most picked player of the week is Aramis Ramirez, the Week 20 Stud...picked 4 times

New pick to the RTTC Board is a doozy...

K Roach picked:

Louis Glenn Marson , Catcher, Indians

Position: Catcher
Bats: Right, Throws: Right
Height: 6' 1", Weight: 200 lb.

Born: June 26, 1986 in Scottsdale, AZ (Age 25)

Drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 4th round of the 2004 amateur draft. Sent to Cleveland in the Cliff Lee trade..

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Coming in to the week Lou was hitting .214 with 1 HR and 10 RBIs...so of course in his RTTC debut last night, he goes 3-3 with an RBI....Roach deserves the Stud of the Week already...

Week 20 Results - Timmy G Salvages Season

Stud of the Week - Tim Guelde

It has been a pretty brutal year overall for Tim G....but this week he salvaged his season with a solo SOTW performance, its his 1st of the season...Unless he can go on a HR binge, its not looking likely he will finish in the top 3 ... He is currently 11 HRs behind 3rd place right now...Congrats Tim on your $50...(Google Pic - Timmy G)

DUDS of the Week - Stout, Todd G., Finkes, T Krauss, Curlis, Holbrook, D Rychener, Roach

The early week injury struck again taking out 8 guys this week...6 of the guys picked Big Papi, who has a bad foot (don't think on the DL) and one guy picked J Kipnis, he was placed on the DL on Monday night..The other, Roach, didn't even get a pick in so he went 0-21, really hurting his BA chances...A few of those guys are in the hunt in the season ending awards, so this week was a bad blow to them.
