Guys thanks for letting me visit first place for a few hours from time to time. I'm not sure how a team (mine) that went 1 for 3 with one RBI and one SB gained two points but I'll take it.

StatTracker explains everything. You picked up points in SB, WHIP, AVG, lost half points in K & R.

At the time that I posted that I had NO pitching. The half point in SB made sense. The rest didn't.

You can pick up/lose points in any rate stat (ERA/WHIP) when someone passes/drops below you.

True, just looked odd and me not thinking. Not sure why but I had never looked at the stat tracker. Thanks for pointing it out.

I guess I should feel good to this point on the offensive side with 71 of a possible 90 pts. while Acuna and Alonso both have sub-.700 OPS.

It took a month, but we have the first trade of the season.

More to come. Although I'm kinda in the "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" area at the moment.

Don't get too complacent. The leader at this point in the season last year faded to 6th in the end. :wink:

I'm not, I know the day is coming. Just at the moment, not sure what I could do. If I trade hitting for pitching, the hitting goes down and vice versa. So unless something good comes along, it's freeagents and juggling.

Quite a parting gift David Peterson left you… 3.2 IP, 7 ER.

I'm just glad to be rid of him at this point. He probably has better days ahead (couldn't be much worse), but I don't need to see them.

And with Walker having blown a save today, I may need Baker (if he holds on to his job).

He may not remain on my roster.
