Week 5 answered some questions and created new ones.
We saw a fantastic comeback by Fantasy Baseball Search in a big win over
Melnick & Greco 8-2. Probably the biggest win of the week goes to Roto
Authority taking Fantasy Baseball Generals to the shed 7-0-3 in the first
league shutout. Questions are now brewing, has Fantasy Baseball
Generals bullpen pitching strategy. Can anyone beat Roto Authority.
What happened to Fantasy Baseball Mafia. Is Fantasy Baseball Search
over-rated or one of the best teams in the league.

Melnick And Greco
2 |
|
| I know that I am bias, but this was the
best match up of the year so far. Not because of the play,
but because of the drama and the comeback. Paul Greco's
Melnick and Greco team lead the whole week. Everything was
in their favor because the two travel days (off) killed my
offense. couple that with rain outs and many of my hitters
facing pitchers like Peavy, Webb, and Santana I was doomed.
Going into the weekend swing Greco was winning 5-2-3 and was
winning big in home runs, runs, and average. On the pitching
side I had WHIP and saves, that's it. Even after Saturday I
was still down 3-5-2, but I had closed many gaps except for
average. Then Sunday came. As expected Paul's offense was
not up to the challenge and sputtered failing to hit any home
runs. I managed to get 2 from Chipper Jones and Kevin
Youkilis and that got me the home run category. I then
pitcher streamed 3 pitchers, two of them Aaron Cook and Todd
Wellemeyer were great and the results were awesome.
Both helped me secure ERA, WHIP, and a 3-1 victory in wins.
My strategy paid off big time this week. Chipper Jones
remains the hot player on my team with 2 more home runs and .500
batting average. Overall both teams performed poorly, but
the better team go the win. Below or the individual and team
stats for each team. |

|
| This was an unexpected
outcome from one of the best teams in the league playing one of
the worse up to this point.. MDC actually lost ERA and WHIP, which
no one expected and on offense he only managed to pull out average
and stolen bases. Fantasy Fnatics had a great week and show
surprising strength in taking on one of the better teams by
winning home runs 8-6 and RBIs 36-26. The biggest surpirse
was the performance of his pitching staff taking ERA and WHIP from
the team nicknamed Pitching Gods. |

| This is the first match up of the rival Baseball Geeks and Fantasy Baseball Geeks and round one goes to Fantasy Baseball Geeks.
This match up was very tight with 4 ties and neither team getting
5 or more wins. FBG did come out on top and sneak by with
wins in average, runs, ERA, and saves. Rob at Baseball Geeks
pulled out home runs and WHIP. Both teams played very well
and would have beaten most other teams. FBG out lasted
Baseball Geeks in the end from Adrian Gonzalez and Jose Reyes. |
