Players of the Week - Week 9

Greg "Mad Dog" Maddux has gone rather unnoticed this season, performing in the Shadows of perennial stalwart Pedro Martinez and surprising performances from Jesse Tannehill and Lefty Grove. It is not that Maddux isn't as good or better than these others, he's just done exactly what has been expected of him without any fanfare. His line for the year: 9 Wins, 2.40 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, 16 BB, 78K. And in Week 9, no one was better: 2 Wins, 1.66 ERA, 22 IP, 14 H, 0 BB, 16 K, 0.99 ERA. Planet 10 needs Maddux more than ever now - they begin play in Week 10 2.5 games out of the Wild Card Race.


Rogers Hornsby, the second bagger for Bucky Dents Middle Name, is named batter of the week for the second time this season. In week 9 he batted .403 / .439 / .774 with a 1.275 OPS and 21.7 Runs Created. His counting stats were solid too - 4 HR, 12 R, and 13 RBI.
