STUD OF THE WEEK - JOSH BIEDERSTEDT
Biederstud went with Miguel Cabrera and he was 7-22 this week with 3 HRs and 8 RBI, good for 18 pts...I am going to go out on a limb and say that will be the lowest SOTW total for the season, but Bieder don't care, he got his $60....There were a bunch of players that finished in the 16-17 point range for the week, so a lot of honorable mentions to go out...Bieder is off to arguably his best start in his 5 year career of RTTC, as he has hit over .300, and had at least 2HRs and 5RBIs each week so far...He only had 21 HRs last year, this year has 8 already...almost half way there JB...Congrats!
DUD OF THE WEEK - Ryan Jones
@czarjonesey7 aka Ryan Jones had a rough week going with Hanley Ramirez...HanRam had only 1 hit in 21 ABs...and with that hit he also added an RBI...good for 2 pts...Lucky for Marlins fans that one hit was a walk off at least...Its been a pretty slow start for RyJo, as he is only hitting .210 on the year, but at least he is in the middle of the pack in HRs and RBIs...Ryan has to shake off this Dud performance this week, as he has a big week ahead of him...graduating from Miami U this weekend....I am sure he will be deep in his cups Sat afternoon/evening when I arrive at his graduation party...He is looking for bounce back week..what better way than to have one last week in college...
TEAM STUD - RED SOX
The Sox went 6-1 this week, and have seemingly righted to the ship...Graven and Riether were the only ones to pick them...
TEAM DUD - Angels, Tigers
Both of these AL preseason favorites had an awful week, going 1-5...Parker, Shipley and Jess Kapcar were the unlucky ones that trusted in them this week...

4/26 Recap -
STUD OF THE DAY - Miggy Cabrera
No one really stood out yesterday, so I am going to pat my back...Just look at yesterdays Dud post..thats why...Miggy was actually only 1/4, HR, and 2 RBI...but the Tigers got swept by the M's..
DUD OF THE DAY - Eric Hosmer
He was 0/5 yesterday with a K and a GDP...but the Royals still beat the Tribe...Nothing like a trip to Cleveland to get a team back on track...The Angels have been terrible so far, but lucky for them they are in Cleveland this weekend, so that will get Pujols and the gang back on track...
TEAM PICK UPDATE - Berg (Orioles) is now 17-2..unreal..Sunderman you are 11 games back

4/24 Recap -
STUD OF THE DAY - David "Big Papi" Ortiz
He was 2/4, HR, 3RBI, as the Red Sawx crushed the Twins. Who would have thought that 3 weeks into the season, Papi would be 2nd in the MLB in average at .444...3 players picked Ortiz this week...
DUD OF THE DAY - Albert "El Hombre" Pujols
He was 0-4 last night, as the Angels lost to the Rays, and are now 7.5 games back of the Rangers...Its been a rough start for Al in the AL as he is hitting .232, 0HR, and 4RBI..he will turn it around, but that is an awful long contract he has in LAA...ouch..Rookie Chip Parker was the lone player to pick him this week...

Week 3 Preview
Questions for this week - How long can Staley and Burger stay above .400? Will anyone reach 10 HR this week? Will the 7 people without a HR finally get one this week? Will anyone eclipse 25 RBI on the year this week?? We have some players that are off to blistering starts this year..lets see how week 2 plays out...
Most Popular Pick - Josh Hamilton -7 times.. A lot of people going with the Week 2 Stud...D Wright and Konerko were each picked 6 times...
First Time RTTC Picks - Every major league player knows that they have made it once they have been picked in RTTC - Edwin E5 Encarnacion, Rafael El Enano (The Dwarf) Fural, and AJ (I am a D!ck) Pierzynski were all added to the board for the 1st time this week...
Most Popular Team Pick - The Cardinals...They were picked by 9 people and 9 people were pissed last night as the Cubbies walked off on them in the 9th...The Blue Jays were picked 8 times, and the Tribe 5 times...
The Mets, Orioles, and Red Sox were picked for the first time this week...
Looks like we will have some separation at the top of the team standings this week, as the 3 leaders at 14-2 all picked different teams...they can't possibly keep that pace up...
4/23 STUD OF THE DAY - The Kung Fu Panda, Pablo Sandoval - 2/4, HR, RBI
4/23 DUD OF THE DAY - Mark Tex Message Teixeira - 0/4, K, GDP

Week 2 Recap
Its been a pretty hectic week, trying to get used to this whole dad thing..now I am back into my usual routine (Yea, I am aware my routine's are screwed forever now...speaking of new dad, RTTCer Shawn Sunderman is one as well, having a girl on Friday..congrats AF Sunderman...) on to the baseball....here we go..
STUD OF THE WEEK - JAY SCHMIDT
The rookie gets on the board early by going with Josh Hamilton...JHAM was 12/26 this week with 3 HR, and 11 RBI...good for 26 pts...Just one week ago he was the 1st DUD of the week...look at him now...He had more HRs this week than hits in his first week (and that was an extra long week at that) He is regretting his first week pick, but I am sure he is fine having earned his fee back after only 2 weeks..Congrats on your $60 Jay...(first late pick casualty of the year goes Chip Parker...who turned in his Hamilton pick, but well past the 11AM deadline, therefore unable to share in the $60..live and learn)
DUD OF THE WEEK - ERIC KRAUSS
Bad luck and just plain bad pick...I went with J Upton for the week and he was 1-10...He injured his thumb on Monday and sat out 4 games this week...the dreaded Monday injury is the worst in RTTC...Speaking of bad luck and the D-Backs...there were a bunch of Chris Young picks and although he had a great start to the week (4/6, with a bomb)..he banged up his shoulder on Tuesday night and is on the DL now...It is a long season, but early week injuries take their toll in the end...
TEAM STUD OF THE WEEK - NATIONALS AND RANGERS
Both went 5-1...Rangers not surprising...Nationals, more so
TEAM DUD OF THE WEEK - DBACKS
They are pretty banged up right now and went 2-5..there were a bunch of DBACK picks last week too
Overall, it was a well picked week...of the 16 teams picked..only 2 had losing weeks (DBACKS, and ANGELS)...
