The big story in week 1 has been the rash of injuries that has plagued so many teams. The volume of injuries seemed to be a bit anomalous and several owners have had to deal with 2 week injuries to quality players. Remember, this is a weekly lineup league, but you are allowed daily lineup changes to cover any injuries.
And here is a reminder of the weekly process for owners:
WEEKLY SCHEDULE
- 15 Days Simulated Per Week over the course of 12 Weeks
* Sunday - Lineups and Free Agents Due 8 PM+ 3 Days Run* Monday - Thursday - 3 Days Run per night
* FA Requests for the next week are due Fridays, 5 AM.
* Waiver process will be run by me on Friday.
* By Friday midnight I will let owners know if they got the players in question
* Cycle starts again, lineups due Sunday, 8 PM
The American League features our two new franchises - the Tampa Bay Muffin Stuffers and NY Mammoths. The Stuffers are struggling, but the Mammoths own the best record in the league in large part thanks to Manny Ramirez. The team as a whole is batting just .210 / .282 / .349 but Ramirez has jumped out to a hot start batting .391 with 5 HR and 9 RBI already. Couple that with a team ERA of 2.73 and it's easy to see why they're 9-5. David Price leads their staff with a 3-0 record and a minuscule 1.57 ERA.
It's early yet one can't but help wonder if the Shadows are going to run away with the NL East, and perhaps the entire NL. At 9-4 they own ATB's best record and more importantly, with a 21 run Differential, they're 60% better than the next best mark.
Third Basemen Dick Allen already has 16 runs batted in and Norm Cash is sporting a 1.070 OPS. "Big Ed" Walsh is doing his David Price impression: 3-0 with a 1.80 ERA.
