Baseball Recap 6.09

1. Bob Loblaw (81.5, +5)

Has jumped towards 2006 territory with a big week from the pitching staff, gaining 1.5 points in Ks and Wins. Roy Halladay notched two wins and Rich Harden struck out 17 in 12.2 innings while setting a new three year high in innings pitched. With 47. Gained two points in stolen bases behind five from Jose Reyes and another five from Soriano/Upton.

2. Fukakke (76, +1)

Continues ascent in the saves column, picking up six last week. Dropped a point and a half in runs in a week that saw a high water mark of 81, I think.

3. Uncle Phil (66.5, -1)

Lost four points in saves, but gained two in ERA despite the mark raising 0.04 points. In case you missed it (and I did) Milton Bradley was basically a hall-of-famer last week: 12 runs, 5 homers, 9 RBI, 4 steals, .647 OBA. Last League Activity: Thu May 29 10:29am EDT

3. Krukie's Left Nut (66.5, -1)

Stole nine bases to jump a point in that column but lost ground in saves, notching just three all week. ERA rose a considerable 0.14, but that wasn't Derek Lowe's fault: 2 wins, 2.40/0.93.

3. The M.B.A.s (66.5, +9.5)

The vacationing Wolfman was our biggest riser last week and jumps into the third place clusterfuck. Huge jump in saves (4.5 points) and a combined 4 points between runs and homers. Hit 17 HRs with 48 runs scored and 46 RBI (all league-highs). Gained some ground in ERA and WHIP despite not improving either number.

6. Horry Kow! (55.5, -2)

Lost four points between wins and saves, but made up three in ERA/WHIP. Held steady with a four in Ks, despite having the supposed edge in strikeouts when the season began. Still rosters Jason Kendall, who has scored 2 runs in the last month.

7. Dr. Jerry (48.5, n/c)

Champ was the only team not to move a single point this week. Lost 2.5 in WHIP, gained it back in homers, in the middle a great offensive week (43 runs, 15 homers). Manny Ramirez: 6/3/9/.500

8. Harangutans (36.5, -5.5)

"Brad Hawpe | COL | OF - Hawpe is back from the DL and has pounded two homers since he returned two days ago. He's got good power and, like [Troy] Tulowitzki, probably wasn't dropped in your league. If he was, go get him.
Recommendation - Should be owned in all leagues."
