04/16: Yankees Bloggers League: Week Three
Posted by: Patrick
This is my weekly recap of the performance of the YanksBlog.com teams in the Yankees Bloggers Fantasy Baseball League.
Last Week
I was able to top Jen (NoSenseWorrying.com), 5-3. My offense was led by the red hot Alex Rodriguez and Carlos Lee, whose lines were extremely similar: both had 5 runs, 3 home runs and 7 RBI. A-Rod hit .364 while Lee hit .389. Huston Street had an odd week: 2 wins with a 6.23 ERA. All of my saves came from one person: Joe Borowski. He picked up 4 saves on his own, allowing me to tie in the category. Jen's offense was led by Miguel Cabrera, who hit .294 with 2 homers, 3 runs and 5 RBI. Both pitching staffs were excellent, with mine having 4 wins, 4 saves, 26 K's, a 2.47 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP and Jen's having 5 wins (1 each for Anibal Sanchez, Chris Ray, Halladay, Millwood and Dave Bush), 4 saves, 24 K's, a 2.08 ERA and 1.18 WHIP.
Mike (River Ave. Blues) topped Seamus, 7-3. Seamus' pitchers were unable to pick up a single win this week. Todd Jones 3 save, no ER week helped him to take the saves category. His offense was led by Rickie Weeks who scored 8 runs, hit 2 homers, had 4 RBI, 1 SB and a .389 AVG. Mike's offense was led by Russell Martin (7 R, 5 RBI, 3 SB, .429 AVG) and Delmon Young (6 R, 2 HR, 5 RBI, .345 AVG). On the pitching side, Hamels, Nathan, Lowe and Felix Hernandez combined for 4 wins while F-Rod picked up his lone save.
E.J. (Pinstripe Potentials and Pending Pinstripes) defeated James by the score of 7-2. EJ's pitching was flat out dominant, picking up 6 wins, 2 saves, 66 K's and a 2.57 ERA with a 1.00 WHIP. Tim Hudson scored 2 wins on the week with an ERA of 0.64. Thanks to 7 saves (from Wagner, Jenks and Valverde), James was able to take that category. James offense was led by Chipper Jones who hit .368 with 6 runs, 3 home runs and 7 RBI. Meanwhile, Ian Kinsler carried the load on EJ's side, hitting .476 with 4 homers, 7 runs and 8 RBI.
Top 3 in the league: Mike (16-4-0), Ben (River Ave. Blues) (15-4-1) and E.J. (11-7-2).

And, Patrick, it's very hard to root against your team with so many damn Yankees on it.
