A Hill O' Beans (Snap, Crackle, Papi) leads the way thanks to the strong pitching of Brandon Beachy (5 Wins/1.77/0.90), C.J. Wilson (5 Wins/2.90/1.15), Stephen Strasburg (5 Wins/2.64/1.10), Lance Lynn (6 Wins/2.70/1.18), and Chris Sale (5 Wins/2.50/1.05).

Carl Weathers (Feverish Beavers) is holding on to 2nd despite having 5 hitters on the DL (Cespedes, Jay, Berkman, Jackson, Longoria).

My team (Concussed Canadian) is solidly in 9th, despite poor management decisions.

Love the description of your team Vin!

It's an odd year when going reliever heavy is this bad for your ERA and WHIP, that's gotta work itself out eventually I would think.

A Hill O' Beans (Snap, Crackle, Papi) continues to lead, as he has most of the season. sparkasse bio-cornflakes has been very steady in the mid-80s and sits just a point and a half back.

Team Thompson has surged the last 5 weeks to move into 3rd. They obviously drafted amazingly well, as they have not made any additions during the season. In fact, their numbers come from 22 active players, as they have never changed their starting lineup. On the pitching side, they are way ahead of the Games Started pace, so will probably lose points there after they hit the 180-game limit. But it is hard to believe that a team could score 44 hitting points with their original 13 drafted players.

1 Miguel Cabrera, Det 1B
24 Giancarlo Stanton, Mia OF
73 David Ortiz, Bos DH
97 Alexei Ramirez, CWS SS
144 Alex Avila, Det C
168 Melky Cabrera, SF OF
192 Martin Prado, Atl 3B
193 Marco Scutaro, Col SS
216 David Freese, StL 3B
217 Jason Kubel, Ari OF
264 Daniel Murphy, NYM 2B
288 Mike Trout, LAA OF
289 Ben Revere, Min OF

A Hill O' Beans (Snap, Crackle, Papi) fell out of first briefly, but has now regained the lead. This league should go down to the wire, with 7 teams still close enough to the leader to have a chance. Team Thompson continues to hang in there despite no moves since the draft, but have now reached the Games Started limit, so they will lose points in Ks and Wins. Still hitting an amazing .305.

RAZZBALL ROTO LEAGUE continues to be one of the tightest battles. I'm claiming a moral victory, as this is the first time I've had even the slightest chance of winning an RCL.

Team Thompson still hitting .300 (.2996 actually) without making any lineup changes, but as expected are falling back in the standings after using up their 180 starts. Choo and a Half Men also have no starts left, so will be hard-pressed to move up.

I (Concussed Canadian) was in first place for a while! Really! And now I get Votto back!. Of course, like the Reds, I did better while he was injured.

sparkasse bio-cornflakes gained 5 points in the last week to take the lead, but the standings are changing every day. Should be fun the rest of the way.

Nice tight race!

Just 15 days to go, and tighter than ever. A Hill O' Beans (Snap, Crackle, Papi), with extra starts remaining over me (Concussed Canadian), could gain a point in strikeouts. Both sparkasse bio-cornflakes and Snap, Crackle, Papi should pass Mein Fuhr-vert in wins, with the cornflakes having the slight advantage in the battle for the extra half point, having used 4 fewer starts.
