STUD OF THE DAY - Miguel Cabrera
4 guys picked him this week...and last night he was, 3/3, 2 HRs, 3 RBIs...(8pts) and the Tigers finally win a game 5-1 over the Twins...Anyday now you would think Detroit would start to go on a run, but it hasn't happened...although last year they played great ball in the second half and cruised to an easy AL Central crown...maybe they are waiting again...Cabrera is doing his part like usual...He is on pace for a .323 -36HR -134RBI year...not bad...
Miggy AL League Ranks:
• 6th in AL in BA (.323)
• 2nd in AL in RBI (68)

6/27 Recap - Donkey Edition
STUD OF THE DAY - Donkey Dunn
He was 3/5 with a HR and 4 RBIs...(8PTS) Schurr and Sliffe, 2 rookies, picked Dunn this week...They needed that, because Monday and Tuesday he was 0/8...but that is what you get with Dunn...Not
many hits, but the hits he does get, go far...He still is on pace for over 50 HRs...
DUNN 2012 League Ranks:
• 2nd in AL in HR (24)
• 4th in AL in RBI (57)

6/20 RECAP - B.O. Edition
STUDS OF THE DAY - Ryan Braun, David Ortiz
Both guys had a total of 6pts, that included a HR...6 guys picked Braun this week...3 picked Papi..
Braun is having a huge year and will be in the running for NL MVP again...(if any writers will vote for him again) Triple Crown is very possible as well..
Braun 2012 League Ranks:
• 8th in NL in BA (.321)
• 1st in NL in HR (20)
• 2nd in NL in RBI (51)
Papi is having a great year as well...for some reason it seems very quiet to me, as I havent heard much about him...Sox being in last is probably 1 reason...He had a grandy last night...From Elias: David Ortiz's grand slam on Wednesday night was the 10th of his career at Fenway Park -- nine for the Red Sox and one for the Twins. (His lone road grand slam for Boston was against Tampa Bay in 2006.) Only two other players have hit at least 10 grand slams at one venue: Lou Gehrig had 11 at Yankee Stadium and Willie McCovey had 11 at Candlestick Park.
Papi 2012 League Ranks:
• 6th in AL in BA (.313)
• 6th in AL in HR (18)
• 5th in AL in RBI (49)
