Stud of the Day - Jacoby Ellsbury
2/5, HR, 2 RBIs - Solid 5 pt day. he was picked this week by Jess Kapcar...she is having herself quite a rookie season, as she is within striking distance in all 3 categories still...best chance for her is Batting Average though, where she was .313 prior to this week...through last night she is now at .314...definately kicking her husband's a$$ this year too...

Week 21 Recap - Despicable M. E.

STUD OF THE WEEK - MICHAEL EMMONS

Emmons went with Carlos Gonzalez this week and that paid off huge for him, as he went 13/27 with 3 HRs and 10 RBIs...(26 pts) He is pretty far back in AVG and RBIS, but he still has a shot at a top 3 finish in HRs, as now he only sits 6 HRs away from 3rd place...that would be a familiar place as that is where he finished last season...3rd in HRs...This was his 1st SOTW of the year and now he sits in 4th place in the Money Leaders with $50 (Finance Page) (Google Pic - ME)

DUDS OF THE WEEK - Curlis and Salvatore

These guys both picked Adam (not pacman) Jones this week and he only got 1 hit...at least that 1 hit got him 2 RBIs...for a total of 3 pts this week...This is the 2nd DUD for each of them and the 2nd straight week for Curlis to be in this paragraph. It is terrible timing for Curlis as he is the hunt in both HRs and RBIs...he needs a big bounce back week...

STREAKS
