Kelley's FKAKY are the Champions!
Kelley held off Jim from making the second week comeback to take his second title in Beaver Roto League history. Jim was up 10.5 - 1.5 on Sunday, but Kelley rode big performances from Soriano, Braun, Pence, and Rollins to grab enough categories to hold on to his huge lead from week 1.
Congrats to Kelley!

Beaver Roto League Wiki
I'm trying out this new Wiki service called WetPaint. If you're interested, check out the Beaver Roto League Wiki:

I thought it would be a good place to collaborate on league rules and give a place for each team to have their team pages.

Finals Round 1, Jim is down big
Jim is losing to Kelley by about the same amount that Kelley came back from last week. So we know it's possible, but can Jim do it?
Jim needs a 9.5 - 2.5 win to take the championship. Kelley just needs to hang on to take his first title since 1999.
Since I didn't get a chance last week, here's the latest playoff bracket:

Finals are set
Jim powered his way to another finals appearance and Kelley had a huge comeback to make his first finals ever.
Kelley 10 - Dan 2
The final results for this week were very close, but all of the chips fell right for Kelley and he pulled out the huge win against Dan. Dan's pitching let him down as he could only muster 27 IP. Lots of runs though.
Jim 7.5 - Matt 4.5
Total hitting domination from Jim dispelled any hopes of a comeback from Matt. Jim is looking very strong this post-season.

Round 3 (semis), Week 1
Dan 9.5 - Kelley 2.5Wow. Amazing week by Dan. He is poised to pull off his second major upset of the playoffs and be the lowest seeded team to make the finals (Jason was the #5 seed last season when he won).
Kelley must feel like he can't buy a break. He hits 15 HRs and Dan hits 17. He gets 4 SBs and Dan gets 6. And after his SPs just got like 8 wins in one week, they come up with only one win. It will be tough for Kelley to come back from this one down 9.5 - 2.5, but its possible.
Jim 8 - Matt 4
Jim quietly is rolling through the playoffs. Not a commanding lead in week one, but there's definitely some breathing room. He is looking to make his second Finals appearance in three years.

FKAky advance
I haven't been good at blogging this past week but all is well with Team FKAky. After a scare in the first week, Team FKAky dominated the Box Chowers 11 to 1 in week 2 to advance to the semifinals of the Beaver Roto League Playoffs.
It looks like we will be playing the 7th seed Pickle Weasels this week as they upsetted the defending champions.

Playoffs Round 2, Week 2
Two upsets in round to and one near miss make things interesting down the stretch.
Much like last year, the #5 team moved on. Unlike last year, the #1 team is still intact to face the #5 team.
Jim beat Calvin to squeak into the second round. Even though they tied after two week, both winning one game 7-5, Jim moved on due to having the higher seed.
Dan blew out to a huge week one lead and head the lead in week two for a comfortable win. So the big upset this year is the #2 losing to the #7 team (me losing to Dan).
Kelley beat Brian fairly comfortably and will have to face the upset minded Pickle Weasels.
Round 3 should be interesting. Will Matt make it into the money after publicly declaring his season over in week 6? Will Kelley finally make it into the money after coming so close last season? Can Jim get into his second finals in 3 years? Or can Dan become the lowest seed ever to make it into the finals?

Round 2, Week 1
Ouch. I got rocked by Dan. 10-2. Hopefully there's some magic left in my team. I need an epic comeback.
In other news, the favorites are all up 1-0.

Interesting Article about trade deadline pickups
I was reading and interesting article that was posted on USA Today's fantasy baseball section and I liked this quote.
"In general, waiting on one player to lift your Roto team to a championship is a long-shot proposition. The strongest teams are assembled over the course of the season, and the most valuable free agent acquisitions are the ones made early in the season, when they have several months, not weeks, to contribute."
The whole article can be found here.

Playoffs Round 1, Week 1
Dan was the big winner in week one. Dustin will have a tough time coming back from that deficit.
Meanwhile, Calvin just held on against Todd to get the early lead in week 1. A veerrrry close week. Should be an interesting week 2.
2.0 Dustin's Diggleturb
10.0 Dan's Pickle Weasels
5.0 Todd's Heaters

Playoffs Round 1 Update
Things are going according to plan so far in the first week of the playoffs. Both Dan and Calvin are the higher seeds and both are ahead early.
8.0 Calvin's Slumpbusters
4.0 Todd's Heaters
Todd isn't that far behind and with 3 wins and a great pitching week so far, he could make a comeback. Calvin is up early on the strength of Garrett Atkins who has 7 RBI and is hitting .875 in two days and Felipe Lopez who has 2 HRs and is batting .625.
10.0 Dan's Pickle Weasels
2.0 Dustin's Diggleturb
Dustin isn't doing bad in hitting so he's got a shot to make things closer. Unfortunately Ryan Howard (2 HRs), Troy Tulowitzki (2 HRs .666 BA), and new acquisition Luis Castillo (.429 BA) are hot this week. Its the pitching that isn't even close so far. Dustin has a shot there too though because Dan has no wins and Dustin has had no starters pitch.

Playoff Bracket filled out and weekly points results and analysis
I calculated all of the points last night and as a side project I decided to calculate some stats with it. Pretty cool stuff in there (click image to expand).
Check out Dustin. He seemed to rarely go outside his 5-7 point range. He hardly ever lost by more than 7-5 until the last three weeks of the season. He needed to draft two more categories!
Who's hot at the end of the season? Jim, Kelley, Matt, Brian, and Calvin are all over .500 in the last 5 weeks of the season.
How about Brian's start to the season? Three 10-2 wins and three ties. Wild.
Here's the Playoff bracket:
So the first two weeks will be:
Calvin vs. Todd
Dan vs. Dustin
Everyone else gets a bye for round 1.

Week 18 Results (Final Regular Season Games)
Brian pulled out a tie with Andy on the last day which essentially dropped Andy from a 2 seed to a 4 seed. Ouch. Kelley tied Jason in the standings, but Jason gets the higher seed based on head-to-head points. Matt's win moves him above Brian into 5th and Dan's loss tied him with Calvin in the standings. However, Dan kept his higher seed due to head-to-head points.
Team of the week is: Brian's Box Chowers. His massive IP total won it out for him. That's how he tied Andy on the final day of the week.

Playoff Bracket
The playoffs will look like this: (click image to zoom in)
That means the top six teams will get a bye in the first round (first two weeks).
If two teams tie then in the regular season standings, then the first tie breaker is head-to-head points in each week. For example, two teams are 1-1. The first week, team A won 9-3. The second week, team B won 7-5. Team A gets the higher seed.
In three way ties (or more), I'm not exactly sure of the best way to calculate. I'll post something on the Google-group. I'm thinking that we could use largest win differential (over the course of a season - points for/points against). But that may be a pain to calculate. Otherwise it will be some crazy head-to-head-to-head formula. That might be easier to calculate.
For now I think I'll go with head-to-head-to-head. If there's not a clear winner (no one team beat all other teams its tied with, then go with season point differential.
Whew!

Chris Carpenter
Chris Carpenter will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the rest of the season.
How's that five-year extension looking now? The Cardinals gave Carpenter a $63.5 million deal last winter, even though he was already under control through 2008. Maybe he'll come back and be something worth close to that. However, as many arm problems as he's had over the course of his career, there's just no guarantee that he'll ever again be a dominant starter. Tommy John surgery will put him out through at least the All-Star break. It's probably about 60-40 that he'll come back and make a positive impact over the final two months of 2008.

Three weeks to go....
I was interested to see the strength of schedule for the remaining three matchups. I have compiled each teams remaining opponents records to formulate a magically number. I will then come up with predictions based on these numbers to what I think the seedings will be for the playoffs.
It looks like the Beaners have the toughest schedule for the remainder of the season. The Pickle Weasels have the easiest schedule by far. The look to move up in the standings. Here are my predictions for the final standings. The Beaners made the biggest drop (dropping two spots) while the Pickle Weasels made the biggest jump (up two spots). This should make for an interesting three weeks.
1) Full Flanull
2) Poppers
3) Pickle Weasels
4) FKAky
5) Beaners
6) Box Chowers
7) Utility Men
8) Heaters
9) Diggleturb
10) Slumpbusters
The battle for the last spot could be determined on the final week as Calvin and Dustin square off against each other. That should make for an interesting matchup.

POW half way mark?
Are people interested in seeing a POW for the first half of the season? If so, I will try to put something out after I get the POW for week 14 done. I should be able to get something out before Friday. School is keeping me busy with two midterms and a final in the span of 24 hours.

WOW: Week 13!
I thought that I would do something different this week. I usually do the WOW last and it always shows up on the top of the blog page. So this week I am doing it last so that it doesn't over shadow the POW's.
This weeks nominee's (according to Andy) Everyone besides me!!!
But in reality here are the nominee's and the loser are Brain Fuentes and Adrian Gonzalez. Fuentes gets the award for temporarily losing his closing role. Here are there stats for this past week. Adrian gets the award for being in a horrible slump.
Brian Fuentes - Heaters
3 G's, 2 L's, 0 Sv, 2.1 Ip, 8 Er's, 30.848 Era, and 3.856 Whip
It seems like if you are a closer on Todd's team that you are destined to lose your closing position sometime during the season. (He got rid of Dan Wheeler at the right time, Thanks Todd!)
Adrian Gonzalez - Diggleturb
1 for 23, 1 Rbi, 7 K's, .0435 Avg, and .241 Ops
He has been in 4 for 47 slump of lately. Ouch!
Noteworthy Losers:

4 G's, 2.1 Ip, 1 L, 7 R's, 6 Er's, 23.146 Era, and 4.286 Whip
Different setting and still sucking!
Taylor Tankersley - Pickle Weasels
2 G's, 1 Ip, 4 Er's, 36.00 Era, and 5.oo Whip
What is in the drinking water in Florida?
Rickie Weeks - Pickle Weasels
1 for 15, 1 Rbi, 1 Sb, .0667 Avg, and .367 Ops.
No comment here.
Homer Bailey - Diggleturb
2 Gs, 2 L's, 13 Er's, -5 K-bb's, 21.935 Era, 3.937 Whip
Looks like he might need to head back to AAA for some more seasoning

Baseball Video Games?
I was just curious if anyone has played any of baseball game titles that are out this year?
I have been playing MLB 2k7 for the PS3 and it is awesome. I havent had a chance to play MLB The Show 07 yet so I wanted to see if anyone else has. If so, is it worth buying or renting?
I am hoping that some day that they will incorporate fantasy baseball into one of the games. I think this would be a great feature. How cool would it be to track your fantasy team through your video game, like player updates and game lines??

POW Pitching: Week 12
This weeks winner of the POW Pitching award goes to Carlos Zambrano. The guy has been lights out of lately. He needs to throw down more often.
Carlos Zambrano - Poppers
1 Gs, 1 W, 8 Ip, 11 K-Bb's (12 K's), 1.125 Era, .500 Whip

Noteworthy:
Brad Penny - Full Flanull

Ben Sheets - Diggleturb
2 Gs, 2 W's, 15 Ip, 5 K-Bb's (9 K's), 1.80 Era, 1.00 Whip
His low K to BB ratio hurt Ben this week.
Yovanni Gallard - FKAky

2nd career start. To bad he might be headed to the bullpen shortly.

POW Hitting: Week 12
Welcome to the latest installment of Player of the Week (POW) award. There was plenty of production this week which is always fun to see. I had to have some limitations this week or the list could have easily topped out at 20 guys. So I tried to keep it to guys that had over 2 homeruns and batted over .350 for the week. The only exception was for Ryan Braun who had only 1 homerun but stole 3 bases and hit an amazing .419 for the week. If he would had shown more power he would have been a shoe in but he loses out to fellow team Hunter Pence for Player of the Week award.
Hunter Pence - FKAky
3 Hr's, 7 Rbi's, 8 R's, 1 Sb, .462 Avg, and 1.44 Ops
His extremely high average and Ops won it this week for Hunter. It also helped out that he nailed three homeruns.
Noteworthy:
Corey Hart - Diggleturb
2 Hr's, 7 Rbi's, 11 R's, 3 Sb's, .407 Avg, and 1.096 Ops
Corey had 2/3rds of his teams homeruns (3 total). He was a close second with Braun. His runs and SB numbers were great for this week.
Ryan Braun - FKAky
1 Hr, 8 Rbi's, 6 R's, 3 Sb's, .455 Avg, and 1.32 Ops
Low homerun total hurt Ryan this week but his other stats were amazing.
Alfonso Soriano - FKAky
4 Hr's, 7 Rbi's, 6 R's, 1 Sb, .419 Avg, and 1.36 Ops
Third FKAky player listed.
Josh Hamilton - Box Chowers
2 Hr's, 4 Rbi's, 5 R's, .400 Avg, and 1.33 Ops
Crack kills!

RIP!
If you watched the Beavers defeat the North Carolina last night, you are aware that Rod Beck passed away. No information has been given so it makes you think for the worse. Either way, the man will be missed.

Elijah Dukes one ups himself
From Rotoworld.com
Elijah Dukes was told not to show up at the ballpark Wednesday, with manager Joe Maddon characterizing it as a "personal day."

Alledgedly impregnate an underage girl and get a paid day off. What a strange world it is that we live in.
This is the same guy that had some issues with his wife. If you want to know more, there is a past post about it. This guy has to be the MLB version of Pac Man Jones.

Week 9 Results
The team of the week was the Poppers as they won or tie for first in 6 categories! A good all around week for Jason, but the hitting led the way.
3.5 Brian's Box Chowers
8.5 Andy's Full Flanull
Oooo, what's that smell? Oh, it's the stinky hitting from both teams. Andy pulled it out with his pitching.
8.0 Jim's Beaners
4.0 Todd's Heaters
Jim knocks Todd into a tie for last place with Dusty. Bummer for Todd, he actually had a pretty good week. Jim just have a slightly better one. Jim is coming on strong. He's tied for second.
4.0 Kelley's FKAKY
8.0 Prothero's Poppers
Jason takes the week with huge hitting and takes just enough pitching to win.
7.0 Calvin's Slumpbusters
5.0 Dustin's Diggleturb
Wierd week for Calvin. Calvin rode his 19 HRs (whoa) to a victory and got out of the basement. The wierd thing was that with 19 HRs he hit only 36 RBI and he hit .240. Those must have been the only hits he had all week!
7.0 Matt's Utility Men
5.0 Dan's Pickle Weasels
Pitching won the week for Matt. Dan just needed to find a HR and a Save somewhere and he would have had the tie. Close week.
We are at the halfway point in the season. Here's how everything stands:
3.5 Brian's Box Chowers
8.5 Andy's Full Flanull
Oooo, what's that smell? Oh, it's the stinky hitting from both teams. Andy pulled it out with his pitching.
8.0 Jim's Beaners
4.0 Todd's Heaters
Jim knocks Todd into a tie for last place with Dusty. Bummer for Todd, he actually had a pretty good week. Jim just have a slightly better one. Jim is coming on strong. He's tied for second.
4.0 Kelley's FKAKY
8.0 Prothero's Poppers
Jason takes the week with huge hitting and takes just enough pitching to win.
7.0 Calvin's Slumpbusters
5.0 Dustin's Diggleturb

Happy Birthday Zambrano!
Nothing says Happy Birthday then letting your Ace punch a teammate in the face! Instead of blowing out candles on a cake, he got to give stitches to someone's face...It must be some sort of culture thing. Either way...it's a meltdown!
This just in...
Poppers crushing FKAKY. More at 11.
In other news, the Beavs win the first game of the regional against Rutgers.

WOW: Week 8!
Worthless people tend to be relievers...This might be because if they get rocked they don't have the innings to help them out. Or they might just be over valued. Or they might just suck!
This weeks loser is Bret Myers. Starter turned reliever turned closer is still struggling and I believe that he is now on the DL.

POW Pitching: Week 8
There was a lot of great pitching performances this week, so if your player was left out, I am sorry. This week's winner goes to a player that has been nominated almost every week but has failed to win the award more than once (Week 4). This weeks POW for pitching is Jake Peavy of FKAky.
Jake Peavy - FKAky
2 GS, 2 W's, 13.0 IP, .692 Era, .615 Whip, and 12 K-BB's (14 K's)
Has allowed 3 or fewer hits in 6 outings this year.
Noteworthy:
Micah Owings - Beaners
1 GS, 1 W, 9.0 IP, 1.00 Era, 1.11 Whip, and 7 K-BB's
This kid is going to be a stud one day. Hopefully he is listening to Randy Johnson for advice in his pitching mechanics. If he does, he will be getting better sooner than later.
Jeff Francis - Beaners
2 GS, 2 W's, 14.2 IP, 1.227 Era, .886 Whip, 4 K-BB's
Nice weeks performance. Has anyone told him that he still pitches for the Rockies???
Trevor Hoffman - Utility Men
4 Sv's, 3.1 IP, 0.00 Era, .90 Whip, 0 K-BB.
Same old Hoffman...this guy is going to pitch until he is 100 years old!
Chris Young - Utiltiy Men
1 GS, 7.0 IP, 1.286 Era, .714 Whip, 8 K-BB's (10 K's)
Another San Diego pitching stud. Maddux and Peavy are great mentors.
Sergio Mitre - Diggleturb
1 GS, 7.2 IP, 0.00 Era, 1.174 Whip, 7 K-BB's
Nice pickup for Dusty. Hopefully he continues pitching well and the Marlin's bats keep hitting.
John Smoltz - Box Chowers
1 GS, 1 W, 7.0 IP, 0.00 Era, 1.00 Whip, 5 K-BB's
200th Career Win! Instant Hall of Famer. 200 W's and 150 Saves....he is a shoe in!
Randy Wolf - Pickle Weasels
2 GS, 1 W, 13.0 IP, 1.385 Era, .846 Whip, 4 K-BB's
I hate the Dodgers but had to include him.

POW Hitting: Week 8
This weeks POW for hitting goes to Jason Bay. Jason was one of the reason's for Calvin's team upsetting the number one team this week. The Slumpbuster's also had a total of 8 guys over 6 Rbi's this week and that helped too. Nice work!
Jason Bay - Slumpbusters
2 Hr's, 10 Rbi's, 6 R's, .458 Avg, and 1.448 Ops
Noteworthy:
Adrian Gonzalez - Diggleturb
2 Hr's, 4 Rbi's, 5 R's, .500 Avg, and 1.533 Ops
Nice numbers this week, especially in average and Ops. He need a bit more production to win it this week though.
Alex Gonzalez - Beaners
3 Hr's, 5 Rbi's, 7 R's, .357 Avg, and 1.205 Ops
It looks like if your name ended with Gonzalez that you had a great week, minus Mike Gonzalez that ended up with season ending surgery.
Ryan Howard - Pickle Weasels
3 Hr's, 7 Rbi's , 5 R's, .333 Avg, and 1.444 Ops
Looks like Howard is heating up to his MVP caliber season of last year. Teams better watch out for him.
Carlos Delgado - Slumpbusters
2 Hr's, 6 Rbi's, 5 R's, .360 Avg, and .985 Ops
CARLOS!!!!!!!! This guy is finally starting to produce. Better late than never.
Morgan Ensberg - FKAky
3 Hr's, 3 Rbi's, 3 R's, .400 Avg, and 1.700 Ops
only reason why Ensberg didn't win this week was that he only started two games and had a total of 10 at bats. Hopefully Lamb will get benched more this coming week.

Elijah Dukes
Not sure if you have heard anything about Elijah Dukes (He plays for Tampa Bay) but I guess he is running into some trouble with his wife. Here is a message that he left on his wife's voice mail. It has been edited...
"Hey, dawg," said an angry voice. "It's on, dawg. You dead, dawg. I ain't even bulls-------. Your kids too, dawg. It don't even matter to me who is in the car with you. N-----, all I know is, n-----, when I see your m-----f------- a-- riding, dawg, it's on. As a matter of fact, I'm coming to your m----- f------ house."
He also supposedly sent her a photo of a hand gun to her cell phone too. When he was asked about the situation before today's game he was quoted saying
"I'm just going to play ball, that's it, I've got to go. I've got a video game to finish."
We know were is priorities are...this is messed up! This has to be in the running for best quote for the year.

This week's winner goes to the 55 year old Randy Johnson. Though he couldn't make it past the sixth inning in both of his starts, he still picked up two W's and struck out an amazing 19 guys, that is right, 19! He also walked ZERO batters! He now has 47 strike outs in 35.2 innings and only 7 walks. Congratulations. The trophy is in the mail! (no really trophy will be sent in the mail)

David Wright - Beaners
3 Hr's, 8 Rbi's, 5 R's, 2 Sb's, .333 Avg, and 1.298 OPS
Wright lost out this week since he had fewer Rbi's. The steals didn't play a huge factor in this weeks choice.
Ryan Zimmerman - Pickle Weasels
3 Hr's, 6 Rbi's, 8 R's, .310 Avg, and 1.113 OPS
Two studs from the PW's. He could have had one more noteworthy guy but I decided not to boast his ego to much.
Hunter Pence - FKAky
2 Hr's, 5 Rbi's, 5 R's, 1 Sb, .500 Avg, and 1.459 OPS
Hunter could have pulled off the award this week but an 0 for 4 on the last day lowered his average to just .500. Going into the final game he was batting .690.

Week 6
Crazy week this week as we had two ties and two 7-5 wins. It looked like all blowouts just a couple of days ago. Dusty and Brian get their second tie of the season, Jason gets back on the winning side, and Jim cruises in for the easiest victory of the week (8-4).
Team of the week:
Prothero's Poppers for taking first overall in 3 pitching categories and not having a last place finish in any other category. The 2.49 era and 0.98 whip was big this week.
5.0 Kelley's FKAKY
7.0 Andy's Full Flanull
This was a very close week. Andy seems to have a lot of these. They very nearly split the hitting and pitching categories evenly.
6.0 Calvin's Slumpbusters
6.0 Todd's Heaters
Calvin had one great day. Otherwise, it was a deadlock all week. A fitting tie.
5.0 Matt's Utility Men
7.0 Prothero's Poppers
Jason looked like he would run away with this week, but Matt made a huge last day comeback and nearly pulled out the tie. Jason's pitching and rbi lead was too strong in the end.
6.0 Brian's Box Chowers
6.0 Dustin's Diggleturb
Dusty had a great week in the averages (.305 ave, .821 ops, 1.13 whip), but couldn't beat the sheer number of HRs, RBI, R that Brian's team pounded out over the week.
8.0 Jim's Beaners
4.0 Dan's Pickle Weasels
Dan had an amazing week in a few things (14 hrs!) but couldn't get it all together, so Jim's good week overall took the prize.

Calvin had one great day. Otherwise, it was a deadlock all week. A fitting tie.
5.0 Matt's Utility Men
7.0 Prothero's Poppers
Jason looked like he would run away with this week, but Matt made a huge last day comeback and nearly pulled out the tie. Jason's pitching and rbi lead was too strong in the end.
6.0 Brian's Box Chowers
6.0 Dustin's Diggleturb
Dusty had a great week in the averages (.305 ave, .821 ops, 1.13 whip), but couldn't beat the sheer number of HRs, RBI, R that Brian's team pounded out over the week.
8.0 Jim's Beaners
4.0 Dan's Pickle Weasels
Dan had an amazing week in a few things (14 hrs!) but couldn't get it all together, so Jim's good week overall took the prize.

Week 5 Recap
Week 5 Recap
Here's what happened this week: I lost for the first time (ok, I got killed), Calvin and Dusty dug themselves a bigger hole, and we had another tie.
Teams of the week were too close to call. So everyone's a winner this week (almost). Best teams this week: Full Flanull, Box Chowers, Utility Men, and FKAKY.
I'm not sure if I'll do this every week, but I thought it would be cool to chart the points over the course of the week. That way we can see who made a dramatic comeback or just a good weekend. It's actually pretty cool. Too bad TQ doesn't do something like this (or give us a nice API to plug in to).
6.0 Andy's Full Flanull
6.0 Dan's Pickle Weasels
This was a cool tie. Dan took all of the hitting categories and Andy took the pitching ones. Still, Andy was 1 RBI from winning. Ouch.
7.0 Todd's Heaters
5.0 Dustin's Diggleturb
Dusty made a nice late week comeback, but couldn't quite pull it out in the end. Todd led all week and rode his week leading 7 saves in for the win.
10.0 Brian's Box Chowers
2.0 Prothero's Poppers
Jason started off super fast and fizzled after that. Brian had a super week all around hitting .327 / .865 with 50 runs. Meanwhile he also had a 3.10 / 1.140 pitching week with 28 k-bb.
2.5 Calvin's Slumpbusters
9.5 Kelley's FKAKY
Kelley had a great weekend and zoomed past Calvin for the win. Calvin's pitching is killing him. Of course, so was his hitting this week.
8.5 Matt's Utility Men
3.5 Jim's Beaners
Jim had a great pitching week, but so did Matt. Plus, Matt's hitting week was very good. This was much closer all week than the final tally.
