Week 5 Power Rankings and Awards

Sitting Pretty:
1) Drew
2) Adrian

Prime Contenders:
3) Kurt
4) TJ

Still in it, though kind of shitty:
5) Jarrett
6) Ben
7) Alex
8) Richie

Can still right the ship:
9) Colin
10) James

As you can see, once again our league has developed into tiers. Drew, fresh off of a 8-2 week, jumps Adrian even though he trails him by half a game.
Kurt and TJ are neck and neck, though still are a little ways back from the top.
One game is all that separates our “Shitty” tier, with two playoff-spots on the line. Who’s gunna pull away and clinch a spot is anyone’s guess, but with plenty of season left to play, this is shaping up for another excellent season.
Colin and James pull up in last, though they are only 3/4.5 games out. Colin leaps James in the rankings due to his strong week, while James is hurt by his 2-8 week.

Hitter of the Week: Adrian Gonzalez (0.321 BA, 3 HR, 9 RBI, 7 R)
Pitcher of the Week: Fausto Carmona (15 INN, 12 K, ER, 0.600 ERA, 1.000 WHIP, W)
Pick-up of the Week- Fausto Carmona
Team Name of the Week: Rusty Trumbo
Manager of the Week: Drew Donovan

Lame week for names. Kurt wins with Rusty Trumbo, a funny, but not laugh-out-loud name. Drew wins the manager of the week award with his 8-2 victory over James. Carmona wins Pitcher of the week, beating out Justin Verlander and Clay Buchholz for the honor. A spot starter for two teams, he also collected pick-up of the week. Adrian Gonzalez mashed all week, and earned HOTW honors.
