\"BgbFantasy\"The first week of the BaseballGB fantasy league is complete.<\/p>\n

After a week of big name pitchers struggling, unsettled bullpens and surprise teams, which managers are off to a flying start like the Marlins, and which, like the Nationals, had a start to forget?\u00c2\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What a horrible result for my Isotopes, thrashed 10-1. The result seems harsh, especially considering my team hit .290 for the week with respectable numbers in most of the categories, but fair play to JJ’s team for their hot start. JJ benefitted from Soriano’s power surge and two excellent starts from Santana.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Russ also got off to a losing start in a closely fought matchup against Chris. Russ left Mauer, on the DL, in his team all week, which cost him in runs and RBIs, while the lack of day-to-day pitching roster moves cost him in the wins and strikeout categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Another close matchup here, much closer than the final score would suggest, as AVG, OPS, W, K, HLD, ERA and WHIP could have gone either way. Tribal Warfare may want to consider putting Upton and Lackey on the DL and picking up pitching reinforcements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Bangers’ offense paved the way for a comfortable first week win, with plenty of contributions from most of the hitters. Despite carrying four bench hitters, leaving him very light on pitching depth, a short-handed staff had a good week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Joe suffered a narrow defeat in his first week as a fantasy manager. His bats provided plenty of power but a low average, while SWAT’s bullpen were going to be tough to beat while collecting sevebn saves. SWAT also had three hot hitters in Miguel Cabrera, Adam Jones and Nick Markakis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

There wasn’t much offense in this matchup, which saw Matt defeated narrowly in six of the 12 categories. At least the Chasers’ bullpen looks strong for holds, with Kuo and Arrendondo collecting seven in a week.<\/p>\n

So none of the four BaseballGB writers had a wining start, but at least in a head to head league ground can be made up\u00c2\u00a0in a hurry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
