Week #4 Review + Stats + F.A.N.

That's why god made sunflower seeds.  So we could talk about baseball.

More Stats

Lets get rolling with the standings:

Not much different from our normal league standings although there are some slight ranking changes.  

There are lots of guys off to good starts this year, but this continues to be the story.  Still a couple of games away from Geoff Keogh's start from last season, but when you combine Scott's last year with this beginning, he's now hitting .905 over his last 126 at bats.  WOW.

Here are your top 10 in total hits for the year.  Nice to see Eric Hipken leading the charge, he's off to a torrid start.  Rookie Steve Lahey is off to a wicked start as well.  

So far this is still just the attendance record, but it'll start to spread out.  There's a disproportionate number of Grisslies on this list due to more games played.  

 There seems to be growing interest in this one.  Here is the top 12 including ties.....NOTE:  I noticed too late, but Justin McBain is the replacement for Jimmy the Wadd, that's Jim's 10 run.  I'll get it sorted out next week.  (Welcome aboard Justin, most guys don't get their name mentioned in the 1st week). 

Again, the rookie crop is VERY impressive.  I've cut it off at those hitting over .700 for the current time.  These guys all have different strengths, but seem to be doing really well.  Keep it up guys. 

 So far this stat is producing exactly what I hoped and that is having 12's compete on equal ground with 1's - and everything in between I might add.   This is cut off at people with 200 points or better improvement from last year.  Congrats to Rick and Cliff who are over 300 points better!
