1 Michael Cuddyer
2 Evan Longoria
3 Miguel Cabrera
4 Mark Reynolds
5 Albert Pujols
Week 6, Dan Uggla, FLA
Looks like I wasted Pujols-I thought he might man up in the Philly series…alas.
Week 1: Aaron Hill
Week 2: Prince Fielder
Week 3: Chase Utley
Week 4: Matt Kemp
Week 5: Carlos Pena
Week 6: Mark Teixeira
(just so I can keep track)
I stand corrected. I just assumed the stats were erased because there was nothing on either MLB.com or Baseball Reference.
My picks:
Week 1: Alex Rodriguez (NYY)
Week 2: Chase Utley (PHI)
Week 3: Dan Uggla (FLA)
Week 4: Derrek Lee (CHC)
Week 5: Adam Dunn (WSH)
Week 6: Albert Pujols (STL)
Jayson Werth
Brandon Phillips, 2B, Reds.
It appears you might have been correct. I swear they changed the rule though. Maybe stats in suspended games that were longer than 5 innings count now but didn’t before?
Anyways I’ll go with Adam Dunn.
Standings after week 5:

In total, our picks have hit 35 HR in 822 AB (4.26 HR/100 AB)
Last week, our picks hit 8 HR in 185 AB (4.32 HR/100 AB)
Week 5 turned out to be the second best week so far both in terms of the number of homers and the rate at which they were hit. Our newer players, FoieGrasIsEvil and The Other Jeffrey Lebowski both got on the board, which has shuffled the lower half of the leaderboard quite a lot.
At the top, things are still tight, with **Hawkeyeop **retaining the lead he’s had since the start of the season, whilst I have moved ahead of Bootis into outright second place.
Poor Munch! He’s got to be due!
I should really stop picking players on my fantasy teams - this is killing me.
And he was due! Mark Teixeira’s homer last night ended Munch’s 108 at bat homerless streak to start the season.
By the way, the probability of having 108 consecutive homerless at bats, assuming that homers are constantly being hit at the rate acheived by our picks so far, is .009
Hooray?
Crap, I forgot to pick.
Ian Stewart, Rockies. In time for today’s double header, at least (3:00 ET)
For the upcoming week, Jose Bautista.
Week 1: Alex Rodriguez (NYY)

Week 5: Carlos Pena
Week 6: Mark Teixeira

Last week, our picks hit 10 HR in 185 AB (5.41 HR/100 AB)
Last week’s top performers were Hawkeyeop and Incensed with three homers each. Hawkeyeop becomes the first to double digits, and, despite an excellent week, **Incenced **remains in fourth place.
After 5 fruitless weeks, Munch finally got on the board; Mark Teixeira’s two homers moving him up to seventh place, ahead of **The Other Jeffrey Lebowski **and storyteller0910.
