In total, our picks have hit 53 HR in 1208 AB (4.39 HR/100 AB)
Last week, our picks hit 8 HR in 201 AB (3.98 HR/100 AB)
It was a very good week for The Other Jeffrey Lebowski, the first time since week 2 that one of our picks has hit 4 HR. That performance has moved him up from eighth place to fifth, passing FoieGrasIsEvil, Munch, and wolfman.
At one point last week Hawkeyeop was 5 homers ahead, the biggest his lead has been all season.
I’ll take Paul Konerko this week.
Oops forgot to pick. Let’s go Joey Votto.
I got a hunch- Prince Fielder is heating up.

In total, our picks have hit 59 HR in 1363 AB (4.33 HR/100 AB)
Last week, our picks hit 6 HR in 155 AB (3.87 HR/100 AB)
Last week saw wolfman move ahead of both FoieGrasIsEvil and Munch into sixth place. Incensed also moved up, knocking Bootis out of the top 3.
Not many at bats last week; our picks seemed to draw an awful lot of walks, and Joey Votto’s neck problem effectively ended Hawkeyeop’s week on Tuesday. In fact, there were exactly the same number of homers and at bats as we had in week 1.

Week 9: Mark Teixeira
I’ve already taken Tex, Wolfman. Apparently Ambihelical Hexnut also selected the Yankee first baseman.
Just realized that Hawkeyeop didn’t make his pick for last week until Tuesday so I need to remove Joey Votto’s stats from Monday. Here are the corrected standings after week 8:
