Good week fellas..(Google Pic - 5 guys)

DUD OF THE WEEK - Cowan
Rough week for our man from Minnesota....he went 2/21 via J Heyward...He dropped 43 pts to .297, but is still in good shape overall in BA...he is also in the middle of the pack in the other 2 categories...In his 3rd year, he is trying to make is first all star game, and it looks like his BA is his best bet for that.

Rough week for the BAs...
Only 17 of the 53 players raised their averages this week..and only 7 players are currently over .300, and 11 players are under .220

HRs
T Krauss is on pace for 62 HRs....Will this be the year some one breaks the record of 43 set in 2009. Currently 11 players are on pace for at least 44....

RBIs
T Krauss is also the only player that has had at least 5 RBIs in each week....consistency wins in this league...

Week 3 Results

STUDS OF THE WEEK: Banks, Williamson, RJones, Keller, Emmons, and CJones...These 6 either picked Miguel Cabrera or Ryan Braun...either way all had very solid weeks, but not spectacular for SOTW standards...The winning number this week was 18....each week that has gone down...My guess is that this week will be one of the lowest Stud totals of the year...congrats to each of you for making your 1st earnings of the year ($4.16 each) (Google Pic - BWJKEJ) ??

DUDS OF THE WEEK: 10 players tied for this weeks dump award...including all 8 Pedroia pickers...ouch...The low this week was a 4...not too bad really...Opposite of the Stud total, the Dud total has gone up each week...Notable DUD...Prigge...he has been a back to back Dud...not good...

SEPARATION: About 37% of us were either the STUD or DUD this week...that shows how quick things can change from week to week...
