Player Pick 'em

 

Last week's winner:  Dru with Ian Desmond who batted .250 with a homerun and 3 RBIs and awesome fielding.  LaRoche had a great game Saturday, but only batted .105 with 1 RBI all week.  Wang....yeah.

This week we have a new challenger to the mix.  Sandra (@natsgirl19) has decided to throw her hat into the ring and show us how its done.

• Dru: Michael Morse.  Time for beast mode to come alive in Colorado.  Plus he is on my fantasy team and I need points.
  
  
• Sandra: Danny Espinosa. She picked Danny because he is really starting to heat up at the plate recently.
• Cammy: Tyler Clippard.  She picked T-clip because she remembered his name and she already picked Jesus in a prior week.
• Chris:  Stephen Strasburg.  2 starts this week, this is a no-brainer.  No analysis required.  You may as well give me the W right now!

Standings:
Dru: 2
Chris: 1
Cammy: 0

Email Dru if you want to join the competition this week.  Just pick send an email before first pitch on Monday with one of the four players listed, 'the field' if you think someone else will do better, along with your twitter name, real name, facebook name, or whatever.

Player Pick 'em: Midweek Update

Halfway point for the week.  Who is leading the pack?  Is it me (Dru) going for his second straight win?  Is is Chris, trying to rebound from a terrible last week?  Or maybe it's Cammy who was forced to pick Wang this week (spoilers its NOT her).

First Place:  Ian Desmond (Dru)

• 3-10 against Tampa, 3 RBIs and a run scored.

In the Hunt:  Adam LaRoche (Chris)

• 0-8 against Tampa, 0 RBIs, 1 BB, and a run scored.

In Trouble:  Chien-Ming Wang (Cammy)

•  3.1 innings pitched, 5 ER, 7 H and 3 BB given up, moved out of the rotation.

Seriously people, we aren't that great a picking these guys.  Why not try your luck next week and show us how it's done?


Standings:
Chris: 1
Dru: 1
Cammy: 0

Player Pick 'em

Last weeks winner is: DRU with Danny Espinosa.

It was a close contest between Espinosa and Flores who each put up similar offensive numbers.  However, Flores sat out a game during each series and Espinosa pulled ahead with his play in the field.  Ryan Zimmerman finished 3/26 with zero RBIs.  Not a good week for him.

• Dru: Ian Desmond-->  Going with Mr. Clutch this week.  Whenever the Nat's need a big two out hit, this is the guy I count on to deliver.  I think he will have a okay series against the Rays, but really will break out during the three game stretch in Baltimore.   
  
• Chris:  Adam LaRoche--> After picking the worst hitter on the team last week, Ryan Zimmerman, I'm going with a guy who can at least hit a HR or two.
  
• Cammy:  Camilla is grounded, so I am picking for her.  And I choose...blindfolded...finger pointing...touch screen.  Chien-Ming Wang.  He gets 2 starts this week which could be good, but will most likely end in failure.

Standings:
Chris: 1
Dru: 1
Camilla: 0

Player of the Week: Update

We interrupt your normally scheduled Fan-Friday to bring you a quick update on how the first week of our little competition is going and offer YOU a chance to go head-to-head against us.

 

 

Dru: Steve Lombardozzi: .091, 2 runs, 1 hit, 2 walks.  Remember that thing about not striking out, he did it twice against the Mets.

 

Chris: Tyler Clippard: 2 innings pitched, 1/1 saves,  0 hits and 2 walks against.  Picking a closer was risky, but so far he gotten into games and done his job.

 

 

Right now I'd give the nod to our esteemed editor-in chief and T-clip.  Good thing there is still a whole series left.

 

Let us know on twitter (@thedugssports , @dru90) or in the comments below who you think is winning.  Also get in touch with us if you have any interest in joining the competition in upcoming weeks!
