Week 2 Recap

Its been a pretty hectic week, trying to get used to this whole dad thing..now I am back into my usual routine (Yea, I am aware my routine's are screwed forever now...speaking of new dad, RTTCer Shawn Sunderman is one as well, having a girl on Friday..congrats AF Sunderman...)  on to the baseball....here we go..

STUD OF THE WEEK - JAY SCHMIDT
The rookie gets on the board early by going with Josh Hamilton...JHAM was 12/26 this week with 3 HR, and 11 RBI...good for 26 pts...Just one week ago he was the 1st DUD of the week...look at him now...He had more HRs this week than hits in his first week (and that was an extra long week at that)  He is regretting his first week pick, but I am sure he is fine having earned his fee back after only 2 weeks..Congrats on your $60 Jay...(first late pick casualty of the year goes Chip Parker...who turned in his Hamilton pick, but well past the 11AM deadline, therefore unable to share in the $60..live and learn)

DUD OF THE WEEK - ERIC KRAUSS
Bad luck and just plain bad pick...I went with J Upton for the week and he was 1-10...He injured his thumb on Monday and sat out 4 games this week...the dreaded Monday injury is the worst in RTTC...Speaking of bad luck and the D-Backs...there were a bunch of Chris Young picks and although he had a great start to the week (4/6, with a bomb)..he banged up his shoulder on Tuesday night and is on the DL now...It is a long season, but early week injuries take their toll in the end...

TEAM STUD OF THE WEEK - NATIONALS AND RANGERS
Both went 5-1...Rangers not surprising...Nationals, more so

TEAM DUD OF THE WEEK - DBACKS
They are pretty banged up right now and went 2-5..there were a bunch of DBACK picks last week too
Overall, it was a well picked week...of the 16 teams picked..only 2 had losing weeks (DBACKS, and ANGELS)...
