Just about a quarter of the year remains..
STUD OF THE WEEK - JESSICA KAPCAR
Her first of the year, and she doesn't have to split the $ with someone else!..She picked Jay Bruce this week and he went 12/28 with 3 HR and 7 RBI (22PTS)...She edged out the Pujols owners (21PTS)...Only 3 other players would have been better picks this week - H Ramirez - 23 PTS, Swisher and G Jones - 25 PTS...She is now 3rd in BA at .330, and that looks to be her best shot at the year end money...
DUDS OF THE WEEK - CANO OWNERS
He only played in 4 games during the week and struggled... 8 people picked him this week and he had 1 hit in 17 ABs..(1PT)...Of all the Cano Owners, the Krauss Krew was hurt the most, the others aren't really in major contention...Krauss Krew was .324 before the week, now sit at .313...big blow...
TAKING A LOOK AT BA
In my opinion, anyone over .300 still has a shot at a top 3 finish with 7 weeks to go...That leaves 16 players with a legit shot at the BA Title..The past 3 years the champ has averaged about .337..Right now T Krauss is at .335
TAKING A LOOK AT HR
HRs can add up in a hurry..it is possible in a 7 week span to have about 3 per week, So anyone with over 20 HRs could make a run yet...that leaves 43 players with a shot at of at least 40 HRs if they get real hot...the past 3 years, an average of 43 HRs has been the champ...Right now Smith is on pace for about 44 for the year...
TAKING A LOOK AT RBI
Just like HRs, RBIs can add up fast..a couple double digit weeks in a row can make for a quick comeback...There are 24 people within 20 RBIs of 3rd place right now...Smitty has a 7 RBI lead right now and is on pace for around 140 RBIs...The champ in the past 3 years has averaged around 133.
TEAM PICKS STUD - REDS OWNERS
REDS with a nice 5-2 week...5 people picked them...
TEAM PICKS DUD - ANGELS, PADRES OWNERS
Not a good week to pick these 2 west coast teams...6 people picked them....
If playoffs started today...this would be the guys to make the playoffs..
Glenn Badenhop
Dan Rychener
Kyle Krauss
Brent Williamson
Derek Meek
Jeremy Berg*
Corey Burger
Kirk Graven
Joe Pennington
Brandon Feikle*
There are another 13 players within 5 games of the last playoff spot...

Week 18 Recap
We are about 70% done with the RTTC regular season...Week 18 saw some big movement...
STUDS OF THE WEEK - Todd Guelde, Banks, Tim Krauss, Pennington
They all went with Adrian Gonzalez who was 11/28 with 2 HR and 14 RBIs.. (27 PTS) That was the best possible pick possible this week...It was Banks 4th SOTW in the last 7 weeks..he is absolutely on fire...He is now 6th in BA, 1st in HR and 3rd in RBI..strong MVP candidate...Tim K has his 3rd SOTW and 2nd in a row....He is .410, 8HR and 27RBI in the last 2 weeks...and has found himself being chased now as he is 1st in BA, 6th in HR, and 2nd in RBIs...Guelde and Pennington both got their 2nd SOTW...TG is now 3rd in BA and 5th in RBIs....JP is still way back in BA, but is now top 15 in HRs and RBIs... Congrats on a huge week by you guys..
DUDS OF THE WEEK - PUJOLS OWNERS
Too many to list on here...but in total, there were 9 of them..Big Albert only had 1 hit all week in 234 ABs..The biggest name to fall in that group was Matt Badenhop who had been atop the BA leaderboard for some time...To give an example of how quick things can change in the BA department: Prior to week 17, Badenhop was at .355 and T Krauss was at .330...2 weeks later (today) TK is at .341 and MB is at .329...that is a swing of .37 pts...pretty crazy this late in the year...moral of the story..never give up in BA especially, as that can swing big in a short time..Notable - Staley has his 4th DOTW...
Consistency is Key
STALEY 14 Non Dud weeks - .331, 21 HR, 64 RBI
STALEY 4 Dud weeks - .095, 0 HR, 1 RBI
TEAM STUD PICK OF WEEK - RAYS
6-0 Ty Meyer and Tim Guelde were the only ones to go undefeated this week...TYMY now only 4 games out of the last wild card spot...Timmy G is now only 2 games out of that last spot...
TEAM DUD PICK OF WEEK - CUBS
1-6 Bindel was the lone Cubby pick...he is way back...14.5 GB of the last playoff spot
.600 CLUB
It is looking like a .600 winning percentage will be a good indicator of making the playoffs...That has been pretty close to the last wild card spot all year..we will see if that sticks...
REMINDER -
On the spreadsheet, the far right column is GR, which means games remaining...Most of us should finish with 162 without a problem...but if the season is done and you only have 160 total games played..the final 2 games will automatically be losses... There is no penalty to finishing early obviously. Example Mathews has 39 games left...there are 7 full weeks left and week 26 has 3 games in it..looks like he will be getting done in week 24ish..which is fine..On the other hand, someone like Ty Meyer has 49 games left, which could be cutting it close...

Week 17 gave us the 2nd best performace of the year...3 guys capitalized on..
STUDs OF THE WEEK- Sunderman, Banks, T Krauss
..Albert Pujols..How long ago does April seem, when Pujols was hitting under .200 with no HRs...Since May 1 he is hitting .309 with 24 HRs and 72 RBIs...In April he was .214 with 4 RBIs...This past week he went 14/33 with 6 HRs and 13 RBIs...(33pts)...Sunderman gets his 1st SOTW, Banks gets his 3rd, and TKrauss gets his 2nd...Tim is now 3rd in BA, 4th in RBIs...Banks is 1st-T in HRs and 5th in RBIs..Sunderman is having a nice year as well, and still has a shot in all 3 categories as he is top 15 in all 3.
DUD OF THE WEEK - Jessica Kapcar
Rough week for Jess...Her pick Carlos Ruiz got hurt on Wednesday and only managed 9 ABs on the week and getting only 1 hit and 1 RBI..she is still only 12 pts behind the leader in BA though, so she is in good shape...

Davia, Midura, and Burger all with the 5-1 week...unfortunately they only gained .5 game on the leader G Badenhop

Guiney was the lone man on the Rox this week, and they went 1-5...he lost ground on everyone as this week saw only 8 people have a losing record
