We’re Back

My Take: Good God, What was I thinking when I started this thing!?   

There aren’t really any trends that stand out this week. Greg scored 46 RBI’s  and 13 HR’s this week, most for a week this season, but his average and OPS both dropped. Nick saw the biggest gain in OPS and average and steals, but had fewest HR’s and RBI’s.

There weren’t really any changes in this week's pitching. Everyone’s ERA (but Greg) and WHIP are continuing to go down. Really there isn’t anything exciting to report. Some weirdness though, Matt Garza (Basement Dwellers) scored a win, a save, and a quality start in 6.2 innings, don’t see that very often.

These stats are going to be skewed because I’m not pulling the data until Wednesday instead of Monday. Ok, I’m not sure how Yahoo! decides player rankings because Chase Utley who didn’t play because he’s on the DL was better than 2 of players who actually played.
