In the celebration of every young kid's hero, Manny, I give you the unsung heroes edition...

1. Team Sully (91): 2B Aaron Hill, a huge reason why Sully is on top, .366ba, 7HR, 27rbi, 25r, .411 OBP and 2 bags. At a light power position, Hill has outplayed pretty much every second baseman


2. Team Riz (90.5): OF Adam Lind, a FA pickup early April and the reason why I was able to trade Hawpe for Jenks, .336ba, 6HR's, 29rbi, 20r, .417 OBP, Lind, Braun, and Ethier have brough my OF solid consistent numbers.


3. Team Bags (80.5): OF Adam Jones, yes, the same guy that took Mark Sherez, got a steal with Jones, .359ba, 5Hr's, 19rbi, 30runs, 3 bags, and a .427OBP, solid year for a 3rd outfielder.


4. Team Fitz (78): I'll go with 1B Carlos Pena, 12 HR's at this point in a TB league is huge. Didnt really know which Pena Fitz would get but so far so good, .374 OBP is very solid.


5. Team Josh (75): RP Frank Franciso, an ERA of 0, WHIP 0.75, 9 saves and 13 K's, lightsout closer numbers from a guy he picked up late in the draft, those numbers are better than most elite closers


6. Team Crupi (68): Cueto, Crupi's butt buddy. 2-1, 1.65era, 29/9 K/BB, 1.04whip, Kershaw for Cueto trade looking pretty good, with his SP in shambles for most of the year, Cueto has been the only highlight


7. Team Chris (64.5): SP Joe Saunders, 4-1, 3.29, 16K's, 1.20 whip, with a staff that has struggled in ERA and WHIP, Saunders has provided a nice 5th day. Chris' staff has plenty of K's so Saunders has been huge.


8. Team Ev (53): 3B Zimmerman, coming off an injury season, a hit streak, 20rbi, 20run, 5HR'a and he is actually getting on base at almost 400, a risk that has been a reward


9. Team Sean (52.5): 3B Cantu, even with him being out a few weeks, he has been an anchor, 8HR's and a .400 OBP, much needed on a team without much offense


10. Team Brown (43.5): SP Hair Hurrhens, solid late pick for Brown, they deserve each other, 1.89era, 1.29whip, and 16K's, all quality starts, good back of the rotation guy


11. Team Sliggs (42.5): NJ resident Sean Higgins, great kid, always up for draft day phone sex, buys the same magazine as Dean does ("I like number 45, and 60" "oh you do too? then let's take 60") solid all year


12. Team Crowley (41): Shot LaBody, he reminds Crowley that life isn't all about fantasy baseball, or whacking off to the Brown League "Top 6", it's about destruction, drunk facebooking, and unleashing pure terror. Always ready at gametime.
