05/07: Yankees Bloggers League: Week Six
Posted by: Patrick
This is my weekly recap of the performance of the YanksBlog.com teams in the Yankees Bloggers Fantasy Baseball League.
Last Week
I defeated James by the score of 6-3. The YB on YB violence must stop! My hitters had 45 runs and 45 RBIs and hit an incredible .367 (James was right behind at .338). All 3 categories were mine with James managing home runs and stolen bases. Prince Fielder was my man offensively, hitting .440 with 8 runs, 4 home runs and 12 RBI. Jorge Posada hit .500 for the week while Carlos Lee hit .524. For James, Todd Helton led the way, with 6 runs, 1 homer, 7 RBI and a .409 average. On the pitching side, we only managed 1 win a piece - his coming from Jake Peavy and mine coming from Justin Verlander. Peavy had an ERA of 1.93, WHIP of 0.79 and 20 K's. I took the save category 7-5 thanks to 3 saves from Huston Street and 2 each from Mo and Joe Borowski. On James side, Billy Wagner and Bobby Jenks each had 2 with Jose Valverde adding 1.
Seamus pulled off a slim victory over EJ (Pinstripe Potentials and Pending Pinstripes), 5-4. Home runs were decided by 1, ERA was decided by 6 points and WHIP was decided by 8 while saves ended in a tie at 5. Run production wasn't particularly impressive in this match was Seamus' team scored 33 while driving in 23 and EJ's team scored 20 while driving in 33. Mark Teixeira was probably the best guy on EJ's offense with a .346 average, 5 runs, 2 homers and 6 RBIs (although Derekk Lee did hit .500 with 3 runs, 1 home run and 5 RBI). Former Yankee Gary Sheffield led Seamus' offense by turning in a .333 average with 6 runs, 3 home runs, 7 RBI and 2 stolen bases. Both pitching staffs were good, but EJ's was a bit better, thanks to 6 wins (Blanton, Hughes, Beckett, Schilling Bonderman and Santana), 67 K's (14 from Schilling, 10 from Blanton) and a 1.17 WHIP. J.J. Putz had 3 saves for EJ's side while Todd Jones had a 4 save week for Seamus.
