Hump day is here and Ev seems to be humping the crap out of this league. Two parts to that story though, we will go over that in detail a little later
1. Team Riz, finally enjoying some breathing room from Fitz. Votto back from the DL, picking up Fuentes in a trade, top staff in the league. The only category I need to pick up on is steals, everything else is right on and primed to be right there at the end. Sandoval has been a big help at catcher, has he even caught a game?
2. Team Fitz, fell back down a bit but still a formidable foe. McCutchen and Rolen have really been on fire of late, Bedard on the DL hurts, needs to bump up that win category. OBP still very low and svaes are high. May do well moving a top of the line reliever for a solid started or a high OBP guy. An 11 in TB's should assure him a spot at the top of the league for awhile.
3. Team Ev, I always said, if only Ev's team could pitch, well finally they are...too much. 118 innings over the limit right now, throwing everyone but Geoff Bagshaw out there. Solid power numbers, a couple of 10's, but a 1 in ERA and a 1 in WHIP wont give you much staying power. I would trim the Arroyo's and the Blanton's of the World, and go 3 or 4 deep for now.
4. Team Bags, staying up top with great pitching. Lincecum and Felix have been a great duo for Capshaw. Scherzer a good outing last night, Longoria picking up after his slump, Ichiro and Hart have been hitting well. Bags team looks like it will compete all year. Trade with Fitz
5. Team Sully, Sully needed that Grienke win last night, CC up and down with a bad k/9 this year, Lester the ace lately. All these guys hitting on all cylinders is a solid team. OF has been up and down, Markakis may not be the top 7 OF that some had projected, but he will be steady. Sully usually makes some moves to get back in so we shall see...
6. Team Chris, really needs to trade soem SB's for some OBP and RBI's Ellsbury could get a nice return. Good staff so far, Slowey great with 9 wins. A bit over innings but he hasnt "Hickoked" himself so thats good. D Ped not doingw hat he did last year, I think Chris called that too. A power hitting 3B, SS would look good on this team.
7. Team Crowley, kid is all over the place, a ton of SB's yet no one is getting on base, great ERA but doesnt strike anyone out. Bossman Junior staring to hit and hit with some power. Sizemore back, good lineup when Reyes is back, I still like Crowleys team, Kershaw, Cain, and Shields need to produce all year and Crowley could be in contention.
8. Team Sean, way behind on innings, 51 down, work out a trade with Ev or something, tough luck with the DL, Halladay will be back but Santana who knows, Drew and Loney hitting well, Ortiz is turning out to be useful, I would get the light hitters out of that lineup, Polanco at 260 and Hairston at 240 is tough, empty numbers with no power, dealing a closer may help.
9. Team Josh? Is that you down there? Hmmmm, tough when Wright and Hanley havent performed how they should, Quentin not close to coming back, Santana ok but not dominant, Harden has come back rough, Cruz and Zobrist the only bright spot on the team...tough year
10. Team Sliggs, Webb looks like he is done for the year, Berkman just ended an 0-20, Kinsler has slowed down, Holliday not a stud this year, may be a good sell high time for Carpenter? E Jack the anchor of the staff thus far along with Carp, D Lee has been hot of late, trading Paps may bring some value too? Dean has never been one to make moves, we shall see.
11. Team Crappy, how a team with Pujols can be in 11th place is beyond me, leave it to Crupi to f this one up. Max games at each position is off, -15 at 3b b/c of Atkins, you need to pick up some guys to fill in for when people dont play Crupi, idiot. Staff looks decent, Verlander, Hamels, Cueto all have been good, it's a shame Crupi ruins it. Needing bench players asap
12. Team Brown....and the first pick in the 2010 UMASS draft is....
