Selections (In order of All Star Appearances)

Tim Krauss - 4th - Tim squeaked in as the 6th place in BA at .334  This is Tim's 4th season in RTTC, and it is his 4th AS...thats pretty impressive

Krauss Krew - 3rd - 2nd in BA .352 and 5th in RBIs - 64...2008 BA Champ..can they do it again?

Dan Rychener - 3rd - 5th in BA at .342...looking for 3rd straight year over .300?

Ashley Shipley - 2nd - 2nd in HRs at 23...2nd in RBIs at 72...Her 1st AS since 2008, looks like she made the right decision to break apart from her alliance from last year..she is back on track

Curlis Crew - 2nd - 6th in HRs at 21...Looks like if you  have a Crew of Krew in your name, you are good?  Looking for his 1st end of year $$

Matt Badenhop - 1st - MB is 1st in all 3 categories .367 - 24 - 75.....367 (1st half RTTC MVP) is the highest BA ever at the AS Break, as is his 75 RBIs...could be a MVP season for MB and some big $$..does he focus on 1 category now, or go for all 3?

Jonathan Davia - 1st - Rookie..3rd in BA at .350, 2nd in HR at 23...was the week 11 SOTW...

Jessica Kapcar - 1st - 3rd in BA - .346...Of all players at least in their 2nd season...she has the highest career BA at .322...and she always beats her husband ( at RTTC)

Brandon Feikle - 1st - Rookie - 4th in HRs at 22...No SOTW for BF..just consistant

Mark Gordon - 1st - Rookie - 4th in HRs at 22...2 time SOTW in the 1st half

Todd Guelde - 1st - 6th in HR - 21...4th in RBIs at 69..proud day for RTTC veteran...The RTTC career HR King (154) is looking for a big 2nd half to get some $$$

Ryan Smith - 1st - 6th in HR - 21...3rd in RBIs at 71...Another proud moment, as Ryan finally has a "resume" after 5 years...best season yet this year..looking to finish in top 3 $

Drew Hodges - 1st - Rookie - 5th in RBIs at 63...2 time SOTW in the 1st half

Week 13 Recap - Badenhops, McCutcheon, Pirates - Rolling

We are halfway done with the RTTC regular season...Here is what happened in week 13:

STUDS OF THE WEEK - Banks, Brink, Curlis, M Badenhop

These four went with the star of Pittsburgh, Andrew McCutcheon who delivered...he went  15/29 with 3HR and 9RBI..(27PTS)   He also was the SOTW in week 11...M Badenhop has his 4th SOTW, Brink his 3rd, Banks and Curlis thier 2nd...Banks and Badenhop are back to back Studs from week 12 as well...With the recent surge, Badenhop is leading all 3 categories at the break and is a serious triple crown threat this year...Jess Kapcar would have been in the money too, but she was late on her pick...Congrats all on splitting the $60

DUDS OF THE WEEK - Cowan, Parker

Not really duds this week, more so unlucky....Cowan picked Stanton who got hurt on Monday and only managed 5 ABs all week..getting hits in 2 of them for (2pts)...**Rule Change**  Since I never recieved a pick from Parker, he was given the Dud of the weeks stats as well..that will be the rule going forward...same in the team picks...

TEAM STUD PICK OF THE WEEK - PIRATES

The Pirates went 6-1 and are in 1st at the break...Meek could have himself a pretty drunk 2nd half of the year, if they keep this up....

TEAM DUD PICK OF THE WEEK - GIANTS

SF went 1-5 to finish the 1st half...

NEW LEADER - G Badenhop - 59-30

You would be doing well in Vegas with those picks Glenn...He passed Kyle Krauss for 1st place...Kyle if you would focus on your picks and not being at the hospital with your newborn daughter, you may still be in 1st...Congrats!! (says the guy in 59th place..20 games back)

Check back later on today or tomorrow for the RTTC Midseason Recap and All Star selections....as well as the RTTC MLB All Stars...
