Comish's Leaders - Week 3

The Splendid Splinter

Brian B selected Ted Williams as his first round draft choice, 12th overall for the Fishbiscuits, and the owner must be thrilled with the decision.  The Splendid Splinter is off to a blistering start, leading all of ATB in Batting Average, On Base Percentage, Slugging Percentage, OPS, and RC/27.  No matter what statistic you follow - Williams is the best player in the game right now.

He's batting .414 / 512 / .727 with 9 HR, 20 R, and 21 RBI.  With the Biscuits struggling to catch .500, they would be in a world of pain without Williams at the heart of the order.

On the season, Williams has compiled 14 multi-hit games and only three times has ended the day hitless.  Here is his hit chart, I guess he likes to pull the ball:

These are combined home/away stats, but remember, Ted plays his home games in Busch Stadium:  125/115 - 100/114 - 125/110 - 78/78 - odds are, he'll continue to rake.

Standings Summary - Week 2

The East was the division to watch in the AL in week two. Fighting injuries, the early season favorite Spanish Harlem Pinata Beaters squad started off slowly with a .500 first week, though just a game behind the Shamokin Miners. 

In Week 2, Shamokin plummeted in the standings losing 10 of 13 while the Beaters turned that number upside down, winning 10 against 3 losses.

Spanish Harlem had several stars on offense, but it was the pitching that was remarkable.  Out of the pen, Tim Burke, Steve Ontiveros, Dave Smith, and Al Grabowski combined to pitch over 27 innings of 1 run ball.  The rotation was great as well - Garland Braxton, Jimmy Key, Teddy Higuera, Rick Reuschel, and Dick Donovan tossed 82 innings with a 2.52 ERA.

Babe Ruth continued his hot start and is now batting .273 / .410 / .687 with 11 HR and 23 RBI.

The Dharma Islanders continued their hot start and opened up a 6 game lead after winning 10 of 14 in Week 2.  With the rest of the division below .500, new ATB owner Justin B is trying to make a name for himself in the early going of ATB 16 - so far so good!

Duke Snider knocked in 15 runners and batted .368 and the pitching staff as a whole yielded just 111 hits in 124 innings and held opponents to a .699 OPS.
