Well, it is getting that time again. Playoff Time!!! This has been one odd year in that the all 6 teams in the upper tier have already clinched their birth with one week left. If Timmy can get 9 Points this week then we will have all teams reaching 100 Wins for the first time ever. So, I for one am rooting for him. Sorry Panties. The competition is going to be great in both tiers as several teams are bunched. There is definitely no shame in going for the first Rick Hill Award. Ok, here is what I glean from the results this week.
#1 Baseman: Went up in roto stats and had an excellent week last week in most categories. But........
#2 Stars is right behind. Also went up again in roto stats. One has to say the rise has been phenomenal to say the least. I did some research on Stars winning percentage since the trades for Tulo and Upton and here's what I found. Since the Tulo trade, the winning percentage has been a very solid .633. I would take that anyday. Since adding both Tulo and Upton, (ok, time to drop the jaw) the winning percentage has been an astronomical .837!!! And some managers wondered why the trades were so controversial? Well, the stats don't lie. Gaining All Star calibur players on offense make a tremendous impact. Baseman was a cut above the rest for much of the season, but now Stars has made it a neck to neck race.
#3 Hardballers: Randy has been steady at #3 for awhile now. Just biding his time until the playoffs.
#4 Wooster: Continues to defy the stats and looking to surprise in the playoffs.
#5 Squirrels: Can pitching lead Juan to the Promised Land? It's happened before. Also Prince Fielder is raking.
#6 Hitters: Had two tough matchups the last two weeks against B-Man and Stars. If the pitching has a good week or two in the playoffs, then Hitters is going to be tough! The problem is that the pitching has been lettting him down much of the season.
#7 Zonk: Really rose in roto this week and in the H to H standings. Pushing for that Rick Hill Award.
# 8 Champs: Played Randy tough, but lost a close one last week.
#9 Utica: Took a tumble in roto and in the standings.
#10 Sultan: Stayed steady this week in roto and moved up one position in H to H. Has had hard luck with pitchers this year. That's why it is very risky to trade for pitching!
#11 Ageless: Not in last in roto anymore and not in the standings, despite an 11-1 pasting last week.
#12 Thanks for Playing: Lost to Sultan in the final game last week. Team is playing hard, but results aren't really showing.
Hope you enjoyed or maybe not!
