[Team name / Current point total as of Monday morning (+/- from last week) / Snarky comment]
1. Franklin Comes Alive (Chris Rosen) (me!) / 144.5 (+4): Looking forward to anchoring my 2009 squad with Josh Hamilton and Kevin Youkilis off career years, and Dustin Pedroia and his sure to be 760 OPS.
2. Made In The Dark (Justin) / 139.5 (-3.5): Definition of August Panic: Adding Jensen Lewis and Chris Perez.
3. The Audacity of VORP (Crimmings) / 125.5 (-4.5): Is this a 4 SS league?
4. Worst Offense Ever (Kenny) / 124 (-4.5): Kenny managed to trade Derek Jeter and Adrian Beltre, two guys who statistically could be on the waiver wire for Justin Verlander, a guy who statistically is the waiver wire. And I still think that was a good trade.
5. Bandera’s Mullet (Joey) / 118 (+3): Quietly, Alex Rios is a becoming a post-hype keeper. He’ll end the year with 35-40 steals, 45 doubles and 10 HRs. If he puts 10 of those doubles out of the park in 2009, he’ll end up at 20-40-300.
6. The Worsts (Brian) / 117 (+7.5): Brian has Tim Wakefield on his disabled list. I can’t think of one reason why he wouldn’t just be on the wire.
7. Backslider (Alex) / 108 (-8): Courtesy of Buster Olney: Aaron Harang keeps getting pounded, Joe Reedy writes. His numbers before his four-inning relief outing on May 25: 2-6, 3.50 ERA, an opponents’ batting average of .258. His numbers since then: 1-7, 9.06, an opponents’ batting average of .389.
8. Ryan Braun and the Shit (Kris) / 96 (+4): And Carl Crawford hits the waiver wire.
9. No Drowning (Nick) / 87 (+6): I was so glad to look at Nick’s team on Sunday and see that he did indeed have Melvin Mora in his lineup.
10. Avoid The Clap (Tony) / 71.5 (-3): You know it’s a bad year when you give 261 at bats to Jorge Cantu
11. Rayburn (Chris Bleak) / 71.5 (+0.5): Is it just me or is Grady Sizemore terribly over-rated?
12. 2nd Half Push (Chris Gottsegen) / 46 (-1.5): Question of the week: Can Chris keep his team above 40 points?
