A rather surprising week. My hittters averaged .3333 for the week, driving the team average into first place. My 8 starts resulted in 3 wins, one of which was a victory in relief, so it is fair to say my 8 starts resulted in 2 wins. Looks like I have 8 starts projected for this week., with Colon getting 2 starts. I hope this short time off has helped Lohse’s control.

I am submitting a Free Agent Move on Hermanson, planning to drop Speier. I don’t expect it will go, but I will give it a shot in case the other owners missed the opportunity.

The numbers:

HR 10; LA 8.0; Pts 4.5:

R 55; LA 39.5l; Pts 10:

RBI 58; LA37.4; Pts 10:

AVG .333; LAA .278; Pts 10:

SB 9; LA 5.3; Pts 10:

W 3; LA 3.6; Pts 8.5:

S 1; LA 2; Pts 2.5:

K 44; LA39.2; Pts 10:

ERA 4.32; LAA 3.76; Pts 5:

WHIP 1.22; LAA 1.28; Pts 7:

With a total of 77.5 points I am well into first place. But, it is still only April and 1st place don’t count for nothing until October. Actually, 1st place is a detriment since, when selecting Free Agents and Replacement players, preference goes in reverse order of the standings.
