After spending the beginning part of the season at the top, is Good Wood going to panic? His substantial lead is gone, and who woulda thunk he'd be in third place? Congrats to our new leader at the top: bombers28. Everyone was making fun of his reach for the Grandyman (including me), but how ya liking that 6th round pick now? Also, a good start to the year for Manny Being Mommy. He lost Manny, but Jed Lowrie and Alex Avila have been two great FA pickups for MBM. And so far, he's winning the Chacin/Gordon for Billingsley deal.
Not to toot my own horn, but if the season ended today, the commish would be in the playoffs. Big ups to Go Home Zito. He's staying alive in the playoff hunt after a horrendous draft. There's just no way GHZ would be .5 games out of the 6th spot with the way Car-Go has been struggling. Good pickups in Hosmer, Colon (wait....what?), and Ryan Roberts. We'll see how long he can ride those guys (yes!).
Side note for those thinking about sticking with their guys in season long slumps (like me w/ Reynolds). In two weeks, we'll be 60 games into the season. Just keep that in mind. I'm expecting a bunch of trades in this league. Make it happen.
