Bru has a commanding lead after only one month. He has done it by outstanding pitching numbers. I know it's early but that is a 320 point lead very quickly. I hope this doesn't turn into a laugher. Cliff Lee has really helped him. Let's see if he keeps it up.
Rosie had a really bad week. From 6th to 12th. Evil pretty much swapped places with Rosie having a stellar week.
One interesting thing I noticed about the pitching verses batting number is that the pitching numbers are always higher for the teams that are higher up in the standings. They even out about halfway down and reverse order at the bottom. Have to see if this continues and figure out what it means.

Wow, we were all pretty miserable this week besides Bru and Ozzie. Bru just cleaned up. A monster week! And it's seen in his pitching numbers. By far the highest start average.

One week doesn't really give us a good idea yet (that goes for the Royals too). Some extreme numbers. One thing that sticks out is how pitching is producing a lot more points than bats. Now some could be contributed to early season and cold weather when pitching has the advantage. But I don't think that accounts for that much. Rather I feel with the point adjustments we are going to see this all year long. As far as strategy it really doesn't change anything.
With all the 'pre-openings' it is hard to get an accurate week total. I looked through the top guys and I didn't notice any of them taking advantage of the double start for like Matsuzaka or Blanton, etc.
One note, I think this year I am going to try and do this on Tuesday's. It falls on the natural week and since we are starting this time at the beginning and if we carry it all the way through, we will have some accurate data.

Gary's predictions
I am adding his predictions here so we can easily look them up and laugh later.
Here we go with Garys (what the heck does he know about making predictions) predictions!!!
12-Whole lotta Rosie-As Ac/DC would say. The sun sets in the west. So does Rosies team. Not a very good way to start the season with SP's Lackey and Escobar on the DL. It will be a long season for Keith ! But hey ! eathquakes do happen in California !!
11- Columbus Mad Cows- Sorry Steve !!But the race is on between you and rosie for last. I think it will be a good one !!!Some bright spots ahead with Adam Jones,Kouzmanoff,McGowan !!!Hey but that's only 3 of 27. Can Francis win big again in the thin air of Colorado??Will Fukudome be a grizzly bear or a cub? (Wait he is a Cub) ! damn !! I guess Steve will have pleanty of time for grilling mad cow steaks this summer!!
10-Fla. Pirates.-Hank has some great young talent-Upton,Braun,Kennedy,Gallardo. But to many questions to contend this season.Was Byrnes and Hardy's great seasons a fluke/RP very suspect. Could make some noise and move up tp 7 or 8. But my best guess as with most pirates is that your ship will sink!! Maybe you should sign Johnny Depp !!!Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum !!!
9-Congregationals- This is what happens to your team when it becomes a feeder system for Mudville !! DeJesus a starter ? Will Gordon have a breakout season?Rowand will come crashing down to earth this season.Ibanez will be sleepless in seatle with very littlr help.Greg does have a very good pitching staff. If they produce and stay healthy. Hey he could move up some. But Greg needs to start praying now or it will be a "LONG" season !!
8- Banana Slugs- if our man Chad keeps up with his team they could rise a little. But hey so does bread when you bake it.So this team is baked for the season. Taveras, Upton need to prove themselves. The doughboy would be better to carry on this roster than Freel and Sexson,ditto for Zitto !!!RP could colapse with age!! Beckett should be off and on the Dl all season. He can't go 2 seasons in a row healthy . This banana has been peeled !!
7-Mac/Zack-Should be better than last seasons train wreck !!Most of Chuckies team was on the DL.Sheets should no doubt make the DL.Mr steroid Tejada will contiue to see his numbers drop !Hughs will win games by accident in NY. Verlander will be the AL Cy Young winner!!Dice K will put up good numbers,Will Liriano be able to bounce back from a year and a half off?Not a good sign with pitchers on the DL already .Lucky Chucky wont be very lucky this year!!
6-Little Leaguer-dan could take this team higher .a few questions need to answered. Can Bay bounce back from a terrible season?Ellsbury is unproven. What will cabrera do with the Sox? Kerry(Mr DL) Wood !a closer! . Good luck with that one.Decent SP will keep Dan in contention. I would'nt change your name to Big Leaguer just yet though !!
5-Bru Cru- Stu's Cru could move up a lot if he quits chasing the Scottsdale skirts and he stays focused on his team.(LOL)Hey can ya blame him !!???He has some ancient warriors on this team that need to stay off the DL -Pedro,Randy,Chipper et al..Decent SP's HMM come to think about it Stu maybe you should stick with the skirts !!
4-Sonic Death Monkees-If the pitchers all go on the DL like at the end of last season this team will be drinkig rum with the Pirates and grilling steaks the the Mad Cowa.Lowry scares me,Sanchez and Hermida are becoming brittle.Very good hitting and pitching . Will contend if healthy.
3-Wizzard of Ozzie- He'll need some magic to pull off the title!!Pierre -no power & slowing down. M.Young has lost a step. Sheffield will be part time the 2nd half.Holliday is great when healthy.What Peavey will show uo this season/ last yr 19-6 the yr before 11-14. Wainwright does'nt have alot of help in STL. Can Well's bounce back from off season surgery? Pujols may not make it through the season. I think it's time to flush the wizz!!
2-Evil Empire- Fine young pitching staff and hitters. Only thing that keeps me from picking this team #1 is RP. Can BJ come back from surgery? Jobas good but not the closer. What about Zumayas roll ?Willis will win 15 games by accident in Detroit .Look for Zack Greinke to have a breakout season!! Having Howard and Fielder in the same lineup should be outlawed ( 100 + HR's ) All I can say is may the force be with you .
1- The kiss of death goes to Mudville. ( or should I say Congregationals 2)
We'll have to see how Suzuki does for a whole yr. Very good balance. Outstanding hitting ! Hoffman is old but effective. Billy Butler will be a stud!! Maddux and Smoltz are old but time won't catch them yet this season.Santana and Oswalt !! WOW !!! Danks could be a real sleeper. He was'nt as bad as rookie numbers would indicate 6-13 (The White sox stunk)Flip a coin as to what Brad Penney will do . A lot of luck last season. The numbers did'nt indicate the amount of wins.
So there you have it sports fans. Good luck to all. I hope you all have fun. It's a pleasure to be in this leagu

Worst use of a roster spot
To borrow a great idea from Mud, here is a poll. I started to add sarcastic commentary like he did but found my creative part of my brain was totally useless after ready Gary's predictions.
I have to say it was hard picking players for some people. Mud and Sonic specifically.
