DUDS OF THE WEEK: Ty Meyer, Eric Prigge

WEEK 12 RESULTS

STUD OF THE WEEK: JAY PERSINGER

14-28(.500) 1HR, 1RBI...Usually the stud of the week has big time power numbers, but this week no one had more than 2HRs...also no one came close to Jay's 14 hits, 2 off of the all-time record...He bumped his average up from .285 to .305 going from 24th place to 7th place. (google pic-J Pers)

DUDS OF THE WEEK: TIM G., COWAN, PLYMALE, PRIGGE, CLARK

.261, 0HR 0RBI...This is probably the highest average a Dud will ever get, but, they were the only players to go for 0-0...All 5 of these guys are in the bottom half of the standings in HR and RBI...this week sure didnt help things...

HanRam: Big Opener

What a start for a few who picked Hanley Ramirez(Leonard, DaKrauss, Plymale). He went yard and added 5 RBIs. To give you rookies an idea of how big that is...last year if you averaged 5 RBIs per week, you would have taken home 1st place for the year. So, huge start for you 3, now the rest of us can only hope for a strained abdominal for him today.

Also, an FYI, a new rookie joined late yesterday after I sent the picks out. Shawn Herlihy picked Jason Bay.

So that brings this years total # of Racers to an all-time high of 41, with 17 of them competing for Rookie of the Year(which earns you nothing, except for a sweet title).
