I have 3 starters in the top 16, including the #3 pitcher in the entire league, who is rapidly gaining on the top. I have 3 OFs in the top 18 of scoring in the league. I have the 5th hottest player over the last month at 1B. I have the #2 closer in the league. I have a top 10 SS who came out of nowhere, and is competing for a batting title. I have a top 8 3B. And that doesn't even mention Vlad, who has had a down few weeks, but a month ago was in the top 15. That doesn't mention the top pitching prospect in all of baseball.

 

If Oswalt does anything tonight, I'll be 5-7 in 6th place in my own division, despite being a good week away from 5th in the league in scoring.

 

I don't even know if I'm buying or selling right now. I have a 6-5 start advantage next week against one of the bottom teams in the league (no offense). Then I have a potential 10 start week after. So, if the Sox somehow bomb Oswalt, I could be 8-6 and in the thick of things. Or if I have 2 starters leave after 1.2 IP next week, I could be 5-8.

Actually, we are even in starts. I was late setting my line up, but I put two start Blanton in place of Wang. The good news for you is that Uggla and Jacobs are both going to miss significant time this week.

 

And I wouldn't call my team one of the bottom teams. Yes, in the win column I'm one of the bottom teams. But, your 3273-3106 point advantage isn't all that signficant considering we've played 12 weeks now. That's an average of 13 points a week better than my team. Your team ranks 5th in points, I rank 9th. With that said, I can't afford for Uggla and Jacobs to be out all week, so I'll probably lose.

I meant record-wise. But yeah, I'm definitely worried about your team. You have pretty good pitching, and have some guys capable of putting up big offensive weeks.
