It is time to look back at Week Seven of the BaseballGB\u00c2\u00a0fantasy baseball league. It was a good week to avoid Vin Mazzaro’s historically bad outing for the Royals and own Asdrubal Cabrera. <\/strong><\/div>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/div>\n
We begin with a fairly comfortable 9-2 win for the leading Sox, who took five out of six offensive categories against Bonestalkers. Kemp and McCutchen provided a lot of offense, while Wandy Rodriguez, Trevor Cahill, McClellan and Niese all had great weeks for the rotation and contributing to a sub-1.00 WHIP. CarGo and Martin were Bonestalkers’ star hitters, while the bullpen of Putz, Nunez and Hanrahan combined for eight saves.<\/div>\n

My hitters finally woke up, taking all six categories in the 7-3 win over Iron Men. A-Rod had the best overall week, while Walker had 8 RBIs. Daniel Hudson’s second win of the week\u00c2\u00a0on Sunday night forced a tie in wins, while Axford and Madson collected seven saves.

The Angels’ hitters made the difference in the 7-4 win over Beck ‘Nams, taking five categories thanks to Alexei Ramirez, Jose Bautista and Adrian Gonzalez. Cliff Lee and Hanson racked up the strikeouts but were outdone by JJ’s staff, who had a monster week from James Shields.<\/div>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/div>\n
The Stuff got the better of a tight matchup against the Vendors, running out 7-5 winners thanks to a sweep of the pitching categories. An excellent outing from Peavy and a gem from Liriano helped the Stuff take ERA and WHIP, while K-Rod collected three saves. Guerrero and Brantley were the pick of the Vendors’ hitters while five different players stole bases.<\/div>\n

Another close matchup saw the Yankees just get the better of Redbacks 6-5. The Yankees’ pitchers took five categories thanks to King Felix and Josh Tomlin, while Street, Thornton and Chamberlain took care of saves and holds. Redbacks had offense from Stanton, but must now cope with Josh Johnson’s injury.<\/div>\n

Another matchup, another 6-5 as SWAT squeezed past the Bet. Joyce and Werth were the pick of an impressive week for the hitters, while Kuroda and Guthrie had strong starts. Five different pitchers won a game for the Bet, while Asdrubal Cabrera’s red-hot form meant he was clearly the pick of Margaret’s hitters, although Youkilis was also excellent.<\/div>\n
