Week 12 Recap -

It was a big week for the Batting Averages for a lot people...There were 26 different players picked this week and 10 of them hit over .300 for the week...which brings us to the to pick of the week...

STUD OF THE WEEK - RYAN SMITH

Just over a week ago a quote from Smitty that was based off his RTTC struggles..."Man, I am about done with RTTC...that game is dumb"...well maybe he should say that every week, as he went 13/27 with 4 HRs and 9 RBIs...26 pts...via M. Young...In the past 2 weeks he has raised his AVG 36 pts and now is over .300 and in great shape...Speaking of "Young"...Smitty is about a month-ish away from having a couple of young ones as he and his wife are expecting twins...Hope the $50 will buy some nice diapers..Congrats - (Google Pic - Dirtball (in Honor of Punches))

DUD OF THE WEEK - JESS KAPCAR

Jess went w B Gardner this week and he did dissapoint by getting only 3 hits...The first week back from her honeymoon to boot, ouch...talk about back to reality quick..oh well I am sure the beach was well worth it...but time to refocus, beacuse the honeymoon is over...Overall, she is still in good shape, as she is in the top third of each category still...

WHO'S HOT/NOT - LAST 3 WEEKS

BA

HOT - Zeitz - 32/74 - .432
NOT - Todd Guelde - 13/72 - .181

HR

HOT - Zeitz - 8

NOT - WRychener, Perrotta - 0

RBI

HOT - Zeitz - 27
NOT - Perrotta, Carroll - 5

I think it is safe to say the Zeitz is enjoying a nice little run here...This is the last week to make your all-star push...

6/22 Recap - Miggy Hits #15

Miguel Cabrera is quietly on his was to another .320 - 30HR and 120 RBIs...hard to argue against him being the best hitter in the game...He was picked 3 times this week and last night he was 2/3 with a HR and 2 RBIs...On a side note Bautista hit the MLB leading #22 last night, and he was only picked by 1 person this week - Tim Guelde...It is not too often that someone can be the lone picker for the MLB HR leader...Tim is looking to take advantage of that with abut 4 more HRs from Joey Bats...

6/21 Recap - Konerko Streakin'

No one is hotter in MLB right now than Paul Konerko...he has HRed in 5 straight games, and now has 21 on the year, tied for the MLB lead...There were 6 players that went with Paulie this week..

Michael Young also homered last night, which ended up being a pretty quiet night in the RTTC world...

Week 11 Recap -

In the last few week there were multiple players that ended the week with over 20 pts...not so much this week...

STUD OF THE WEEK - Nick Palumbo

Rookie, Nick Palumbo was the lone STUD this week as he went with Cano and ended the week 11/29 with 2 HRs and 5 RBIs...(18 pts)...The nice week for Nick puts him in 4th place in Batting Average now at .313...He is also in the top 15 in RBIs only 10 back from the leader with 53... Congrats Nick on your first SOTW (Google Pic - Palumbo)

DUD OF THE WEEK - Jeremy Stout

Stout with a very rough week going 2/24 with Longoria...That dropped his avg from the league leading .328 last week, to .305 this week, dropping 7 spots in that span. He has a league average 14 HRs and is only 8 back in RBIs with 55...so overall, Stoutit is having a very nice year...

MLB - A Gonzalez - .348

HR

RTTC - Wyse - 22

MLB - Bautista, Granderson, Tex - 21

6/15 Recap - 2 Tex Messages

The pick of the day yesterday was another Yankee...Mark Teixeira who went 3/5 with 2 HRs and 5 RBIs, good for a 10 pointer....a lot of us won't get 10 pts all week!...he was picked by 3 different players...Tex now leads the MLB in HRs with 21, tied with Granderson and Bautista...must be an AL East thing to drop bombs

Mark Teixeira ties Eddie Murray, Chili Davis, hitting HR from both sides of the plate for 11th time in career.
