About my mixed league

I am now in a battle for first place, as I mentioned in Tuesday's post. As of now, I am behind 3 to 6, with one tie. My opponent leads in four of the batting categories (HR, RBI, BA, and OPS). Yes OPS is a category in this league, which of course is awesome. I lead in stolen bases, and as long as Jose Reyes doesn't get hurt, I have a good chance to win. I HAVE been helped by Adam Dunn. One day I'll write a whole post on that guy. For now, my food for thought: Has there ever been a player even remotely like him? In the first week, Dunn had a game in which he hit a home run AND THEN stole TWO more bases IN THE SAME GAME! Sounds like Ricky Henderson/Jose Reyes territory, right? Except Dunn is 6-6, 275. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??????? Superhuman Superhuman Superhuman Superhuman Superhuman Superhuman. And so much more.

I am trailing in ERA and WHIP, but winning in Wins and Strikeouts. We are tied in saves. It seems his strategy this week has been to start all his relievers, of which he has FIVE. He really has no choice, because he is having severe starter problems. Of his starters, Kelvim Escobar and now Jason Schmidt are on the DL, Brett Myers has been relocated to the 'pen, and Rich Harden is even having shoulder problems. Poor guy, though he is beating me now, he might have a tough time winning the strikeout and win categories for a long time. I think he seems okay with this strategy though. Five relievers will get your team plenty of saves and should keep era and whip low.
His five relievers are
Mariano Riviera
Joe Nathan
Francisco Cordero
Dan Wheeler
Jon Broxton
So I'd say he's in pretty god shape to beat my three of
Takashi Saito
Billy Wagner
Jason Frasor
But maybe I'll get lucky.

I also might come back in the hitting categories, though it'll be tough if A-Rod continues at this insane pace (he's on my opponents team). Don't be surprised if he breaks the home run record this year. A-Rod is possibly the Greatest Baseball Player Ever. Yankees fans better recognize. There was a rumor the Giants might go after him in the offseason. One can always dream. Sweet dreams baby as Roy would say.
