\"BgbFantasyHeadline\"Welcome to our weekly round-up of the BaseballGB Fantasy League competition.\u00c2\u00a0 This is a mixed Head-2-Head league involving BGB writers and readers.\u00c2\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

There are fourteen teams who pair up in different combinations each week, making for seven match-ups in any given week. The teams battle over twelve statistical categories, gaining one point for each category they win.\u00c2\u00a0 All the points are carried over into the season league table at the end of the weekly match-ups.\u00c2\u00a0The top six teams with the most points at the end of the fantasy season will go on to the playoffs during the last three weeks of September.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

SWAT were the victors in the inaugural BGB Fantasy League last year.\u00c2\u00a0 Will they retain their title in 2010, or will a new champion emerge?<\/em><\/p>\n

We start with an 8-3 win for my Isotopes, puting me a game over .500 thanks to a big week with the bats. Ethier (before his injury), Cabrera, McGehee and Dunn all provided plenty of power, although Marcum and Cueto helped Pretzel Vendors take both ERA and WHIP. A WHIP of under 1 takes some doing, so well done to the Vendors.<\/p>\n

The Sox picked up a 6-3 win over Borders Bats, taking five offensive categories despite a .249 AVG. Mauer and Butler were the pick of the hitters for the Sox, while Weaver, Lee and a four-save week for Broxton helped the Bats salvage some pitching categories.<\/p>\n

There was some excellent pitching in this matchup, but SWAT just got the better of the Spaniards 6-4 as the pitching of Hanson, Kershaw, Kuroda and Pinieiro couldn’t be beaten. Posada, Coghlan, Hughes and three holds from Joba helped the Spaniards.<\/p>\n

Rounding things up<\/strong>
\n\u00c2\u00a0
\nThere have not been any trades as yet, but the Stuff have picked up Grady Sizemore off waivers after SWAT cut him loose.
\n\u00c2\u00a0
\nThe results mean Beck ‘Nams are now just a game ahead of Iron Men at the top, with Pretzel Vendors and Cheddar Chasers 2.5 and 3.5 games back respectively. My Isotopes are now in 5th, a game ahead of the Stuff. SWAT and the Angels are both 8 games back, with Rip It and the Spaniards close behind. The Sox and Waves are both 10 games back, half a game ahead of Bonestalkers, with Borders Bats currently last.
