Above would be the standings if our league was a rotisserie league. Suprisingly, no one is really getting the shaft. (Although Huff's Thong Drawer has a little beef. He's a game from the basement in the H2H standings and would be tied for 7th in this format.) Raging Right Now could also be higher in the standings, but bombers28 and NOBODY CARES!! are who we thought they were. One thing that makes me feel a little better is the slight discrepacy between AVG and OPS. The categories seem similar, but it's one way to get doubles and triples to affect fantasy baseball. In the grand scheme of things, #nobodycares.
Good Wood- Doesn't suprise me he's in first in R, HR, RBI, and OPS. Look at his lineup. Pujols, Bautista, Fielder, Castro, Morse, etc. It's going to be hard to beat him in the playoffs unless your squad goes off for 11-6-10-2 on Sunday.
Manny- Solid staff, high average guys, little power. Have power and need average? He's a potential trade partner.
Raging- Doesn't surprise me that my team is where it is. High power guys, no average (see Mark Reynolds). High K guys who are struggling (see Max Scherzer). Offensive stats might be a bit inflated because of the monster day my team had yesterday.
BustHerPosey- Solid, solid team. Great pitching depth. One thing to keep an eye on is a potential Heath Bell trade. Actually, he handcuffed that situation pretty well. Bell gets traded and becomes a setup guy, he and Mike Adams simply swap roles. Nice job.
Go Home Zito- Uhhhh, the Sanchy Award for being the enigma of the league. You look at his roster and nothing pops out at you. Cargo's been struggling, one consistent ace (Hamels), three pretty volatile closers, but somehow lands in the top 6. Like Johnny Sanchez, walks 6 in 5 innings, somehow leaves the game giving up 2-3 runs. If GHZ's season parallel's to Sanchy's, then he's due for a disappearing act and a DL stint.
Bombers28- Grandy's been awesome, but he needs to make a move. First to sixth in a matter of a few weeks. I see the current top 4 making the playoffs. GHZ and bombers, I'm not so sure.
Huff- The rotisserie standings don't tell the whole story. The structure of his team is not made for the H2H format. Too many hitters, not enough pitchers. He needs to make some moves, but there's talent on this team. Could play the role of spoiler.
Bi-Winning- My bold prediction is this team finishes in 5th. Right now, he's 6 games out, but the pitching staff is too strong and he needs to tread water until Crawford comes back.
WSChamps1908- Team's pretty weird. His catcher spot is empty. Adam Jones can carry a squad with the way he's swinging the bat, but nothing's materialized. May have to deal one of his studs for another stud or studs. Ubaldo's been killing his team. Outside chance to sneak into that 6th seed.
Justin's Juicers- Sneaky 3-1-2 in his last 6 weeks. I don't know how. Justin Upton's been a monster. Stubbs has fallen hard back down to earth.
Mark it Down- Needs pitching depth help. Has some pieces to move. I do recommend dropping Fuentes and benching Uggla. Yuck.
NOBODY CARES- :-(
