BIG DAY BARAJAS

2-5 , 2 HR , 4 RBI...no way anyone would ever pick Rod Barajas, thats all I got.

RYAN BRAUN GONE WILD

How is this for a night.....5-5 , 2 HR , 4 RBI...no one picked him this week, but we will see his name soon I am sure. Also on a side note for a correction in the standings, Jodi Bieder picked Cabrera instead of Inge in week 2...I put the wrong name up for some reason... E-me

NATE THE GREAT

Nate McLouth was the one of the best players on a slow MLB night. He was 2-4 , 1 HR , 4 RBIs. He was a very popular pick last year about this time. I wonder if he will start to break out again and get some picks in the coming weeks.

WEEK 2 RESULTS

STUD OF THE WEEK: GREG LEONARD

We should have known this was coming when he had 6 hits earlier in the week. Leonard finished the week with 15 hits, which ties the all-time record. He was .556 2 HR and 6 RBIs. This huge week puts him in 1st in BA, 2nd in HRs and 1st in RBIs

DUD OF THE WEEK: DAVE KRAUSS

1-7, 0 HR, 0 RBIs...this is one of the worst things that can happen in RTTC: when your player gets a Monday or Tuesday injury and has limited at bats. Luckily for Dave, he had a very good first week, so he isn't to far behind the leaders.

STAT THAY MAY ONLY AMAZE ME:

I think its going to take someone to hit close to .600 for the week to break the hits record of 15 hits in a week. Leonard went .556 and only tied it...thats going to be pretty tough to do...Also congrats to last years MVP, Brent Punches for hitting his 40th career homer this week..

MARLINS KEEP IT GOING

Marlins, OF, Cody Ross had on of the best performances of the day yesterday for the 8-1 Marlins. He was 3-3 , 1 HR , 4 RBI. He is another one of those guys that will probably never be picked this year, but he did hit 22 homers last year.

KINSLER MAKES HISTORY

Not only did Ian Kinsler have 6 hits last night, he also hit for the cycle, making him the 1st person since 1890 to do so. Here was his stat line: 6-6 , 1 HR , 5 R , 4 RBI , 1 SB...not a bad night for ya there Leonard. On a side note, here is to hoping that Grady takes CC deep in the first ever at bat in New Yankee stadium this afternoon.

WHAT THE BUCK?

KC Royal/CLE Indians killer John Buck had the big night last night as he went 2-4 , 2 HR , 5 RBIs. This is a guy that no one has ever picked in RTTC history(or any other Royal for that matter) that I am aware of, but if he keeps this up, you may see his name called soon.

Also FYI, an event happened Monday night that I am sure will never happen again in RTTC history...Nick Swisher, an Italian-American, pitched a scoreless inning including a strikeout and hit a home run for the Yanks. And where is the one guy who picked him this week (Ryan Smith) for business??? You got it...Italy....amazing!
