Week 6 Results



What a week for a lot of RTTCers....I never would have thought a guy with 5 HRs and 10 RBIs (Gonzalez)...in a week would come in 2nd place in SOTW Rankings...most weeks those 24 pts would have been an easy winner...but not this week...

STUDS OF THE WEEK - Zeitz - KJ Krauss
A very good week by these 2 capped off by a GREAT sunday where J Bautista hit 3 HRs...and gave him 6 for the week...a stat line of 11/26 6 HRs and 9 RBIs (26 Pts)! This is the 1st SOTW for both of them..They are in the middle of the pack in all categories, except Krista is now 2nd in HRs with 13...Big Papi - Dave Krauss also picked Bautista and was credited with full stats, just wasn't eligible for the SOTW for being late with his pick...(he was still pissed about the Derby results) (Google Pic - KJZ)


DUD OF THE WEEK - Roach

The bad luck hit Roach this week as his guy Adam Lind was scratched from the lineup all week with a bad back, tough to see that coming when he isn't even on the DL...The Blue Jays like to do this it seems....I got screwed with Bautista last week doing the same thing....tough luck Roach, go get em this week buddy


Where we rank-

BA

MLB - Matt Holliday - .379

RTTC - W Rychener - .353


HR

MLB - Jose Bautista - 16

RTTC - Curlis - 14

Week 5 Recap



Lots of poor results for a lot of people this week, except for...

STUDS OF THE WEEK - Banks - Graven - Rossi - Riether - G Badenhop
All 5 of these guys get there 1st stud of the week award going with Adrian Gonzalez who went 9/28, with 3HRs and 9 RBIs (21 pts)...Banks and Graven who are known to have their own weekly side wagers on RTTC, get to split the $50 5 ways...each get $10...Glenn Badenhop is now in 2nd place in BA at .333, thanks to a lot of the leaders having awful weeks...Graven, Badenhop and Reither are all 5 behind the leader in HRs with 7, and Graven is only 1 RBI off the lead in RBIs with 33. 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...
