What an opening week. It’s so great to have baseball back and to be back to the RCL grind. Are you slugging your way to the top of your league via Trevor Story? Maybe you’ve Edinson Volquez’d yourself to the front of the pack instead. Either way, I hope your roto points floweth over. Kyle Schwarber owners, (I had 1 share just for SsNGs) I send my condolences. Mike Trout and Zack Greinke owners, the support group meeting is tonight at 7 in the basement of the town library. I’ll bring the Cracker Jack, you bring the Big League Chew and we’ll have a prayer octagon.
Already the RCL battle has been waged on the waiver wire as the race to grab the top up and coming prospects is in full sprint. In just the first week we’ve seen Max Kepler, Mallex Smith and the top prize, Nomar Mazara all called up to the show. Kepler is yet to crack the lineup, but 4 teams have decided to make the stash. 52 teams are hoping Mallex Smith can give them some sweet, sweet SAGNOF. So far, there’s just been a hit, a run and a caught stealing that ended in a nasty forehead gash, but the speed is real. Then there’s Mazara, who made his presence felt ASAP with a dinger (1 more than Mike Trout!) in his first game. As of Monday morning he was scooped up in 84 of 85 leagues. The 85th league is 12 Matthew Berrys running Razzball recon, so they hardly count. This year’s rookie class has a lot to live up to after last year’s rookie nookie, but they’re getting and early jump. Speaking of jumps, let’s take a look at which RCL teams are getting early jumps on their league standings:
Please, blog, may I have some more?
